Illustrated by
Susan Gal.
Bella resists replacing her favorite coat, but crafty DIY-er Grams helps the growing girl enjoy the season and accept changes, both in nature and her body. Gal's illustrations--full-spread autumn scenes with saturated golden colors--depict Bella's giddy outdoor play in her outgrown coat. Together with lively descriptions of Bella's activities, they create an appealing, if nostalgic, view of childhood.
