Spookley is a little pumpkin who looks different from the other pumpkins. He’s square instead of round. At first, he feels left out, but when a storm hits the patch, Spookley’s unique shape ends up saving the day. His story is a gentle but powerful reminder that our differences are what make us valuable.

History of the Jack-O-Lantern
The jack-o’-lantern tradition comes from an old Irish and Scottish legend about a man named “Stingy Jack,” who tricked the Devil and was doomed to wander the earth with only a burning ember inside a hollowed-out turnip to light his way. When Irish immigrants came to America, they discovered pumpkins and over time, the pumpkin jack-o’-lantern became the iconic Halloween symbol we know today.
