Pumpkin Angel: The Angel of Halloween

by George William Kelly

Overview

“Pumpkin Angel, The Angel of Halloween,” is a “storyteller” eBook for children. It has no pictures. It allows boys and girls to imagine the characters and scenes of the story—guided by their own ethnic, religious, or other background. Adults reading the story aloud to children are like storytellers of ancient times. The storyteller paints the story with words alone on the canvas of each child’s mind. Pumpkin Angel got her name because she loves, loves, loves pumpkin pie! Every autumn she flies down to Earth to bless the farmers’ pumpkins.

To quote from the book: “She waves her blessings over every pumpkin patch. Her blessings fly hither and thither like butterflies. Her butterfly blessings visit every pumpkin. Each pumpkin blessed by Pumpkin Angel grows bigger and bigger.”

On Halloween, Pumpkin Angel unlocks the Doomsday Door with her skeleton key, letting underworld creatures out to trick-or-treat along with boys and girls. She flies back to Heaven in a pumpkin chariot. Beside her she carries a sky-high stack of pumpkin pies. Pumpkin Angel is to Halloween what Santa Claus is to Christmas.
