Autumn, that wonderful season! Cold enough for jackets and flannels, and warm slices of pumpkin pies! Caramel apples and apple ciders; scratchy warm scarves that cover our necks from the crisp cool breeze. Leaves that shake their summer greens to vibrant reds and oranges and yellows, and rainy afternoons, perfect for sleepy book-reading by the fireplace. Migrating flocks of geese honk, pointing the way down south, as the first frost of the year approaches. I think Lauren DeStefano put it best; “Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”
Whether you call this time of the year autumn, or fall, or the best time of the year, I’ve hand-picked some of my personal favorite seasonal picture books- and like the harvest of a perfectly round pumpkin, these books are fresh and ready for your picking!
