PITTSBURGH — In the late 1980s and early 1990s, my daughter, Shannon, and my son, Glenn, loved a book at the Carnegie Library on the North Side of Pittsburgh called Proud Pumpkin, a 1953 children’s book written and illustrated by artist Nora S. Unwin.
It was not a big book. It was not a famous book. You would not have found it in a store window at Kaufmann’s at Christmas or on a spinning rack at the drugstore. But in our house, it was the book that told us fall had arrived.
