Illustrated by
Elly MacKay.
Two children experience fall in a northern temperate climate. Clever wordplay explores various indicators of seasonal change: "Flowers Leave...Leaves Fall...Fall Stays...Fall Leaves." Under each poetic large-type phrase, brief commentaries explain the related astronomical and ecological principles at work. Collage illustrations with a three-dimensional effect depict the children biking, boating, hiking, and relaxing during glorious autumn days.
