As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, a world of change unfolds...
Celebrate the beauty, wonder, and traditions of the autumn season in Fall, a warm and lyrical picture book by Tricia Gardella. Young readers follow scenes of kittens chasing acorns, squirrels storing snacks, apples pressed into cider, leaves twirling like butterflies, and families preparing for the celebrations that bring the year to a close. Each page is filled with soft, nostalgic illustrations that perfectly capture the essence of fall.
From pumpkin patches and harvest moons to migrating birds and cozy nests tucked safely away, this book gently guides children through the many signs that another year is almost over. With its soothing rhythm and vivid artwork, Fall is a timeless seasonal read-aloud for home and classroom use.
