From Ezra Jack Keats Award winner Kari Percival comes a joyful celebration of the fall season, inviting children to explore the connections between humans, animals, and nature.

As the leaves change colors and the air starts to crisp, the natural world begins to shift, and so do we. Through vibrant digital woodcut illustrations and lyrical text, award-winning author-illustrator Kari Percival (How to Say Hello to a Worm) captures the magic of fall, inspiring young children to see the ways in which our seasonal routines reflect those of animals and plants in the wild.

An encouraging appreciation for nature, play, and the simple beauty of a fall day.
⭐ “Percival draws clear, enticing parallels between the seasonal preparations made by humans and those involving the natural world. . . The vibes couldn’t be cozier, and the science shines.” —Kirkus (STARRED REVIEW)
Kari Percival's illustration style is rooted in the woodcuts she's been carving and printing for more than two decades. Kari was a 2017 recipient of the New England SCBWI Four-by-Four mentorship program. She earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a master's degree in education and environmental science from Antioch University. Her debut picture book, How to Say Hello to a Worm, was awarded the Ezra Jack Keats Award. Ecology has always been her favorite topic to teach, whether in the classroom or in the community garden. Kari lives with her husband and two children just outside Boston near a magical waterfall. View titles by Kari Percival
