The Pumpkin Seed

A little girl and her mum plant a pumpkin seed just before Mum’s new partner, Sam, moves in. Adjusting to this change isn’t always easy, but while the seed slowly grows into a big, beautiful pumpkin, her bond with Sam begins to grow too. A tender exploration of step-parenting and same-sex parenting, beautifully capturing how, with time and care, a new person can find their place within a family.
