But when autumn breezes begin to blow, adventurous Birch, nervous Oak, and grumpy Maple each have their own way of facing the new crispness in the air. New situations (like changing color, and the promise of the fall to come) can be scary but also thrilling, as these three adorable autumn leaves discover in this funny and heartwarming story.
