Goodreads review by Calista on September 06, 2018

Love this book. It's a little early for Fall, but because I love fall I went ahead and got this book. Beat the rush I guess. It's been almost 100 degrees here the past few days and I'm sick of the humid sticky heat. I'm ready for Fall so much. Bring on soup and cooler temps. I love the changing ligh......more

Goodreads review by Deb (Readerbuzz) on October 12, 2018

I've read a lot (a LOT) of books about fall, but this may be the most poetic book about fall I've ever read. The illustrations are beautiful and fun, and the interaction between the two characters is compelling. It's a beautiful book to share with children about the season.......more

Quotes

“The story's lyricism and warmth, coupled with the colorful, cartoonlike illustrations, will leave readers with a smile and perhaps some interesting observations of their own about the magic of fall.” —Kirkus Reviews

“The now legendary candle test for toxic gases and the first peek through the ancient door at ‘wonderful things!’ is certainly the anticipated climax here, but Fern turns the biographical run-up into a story nearly as fascinating and just as important . . . Kulikov’s signature hashed line and watercolor artwork is rife with wry humor, an imaginative fusion of literal and symbolic scenes, detailed maps and cartouches, inventively bordered and collaged compositions.” —VOYA

“Diesen subtly conveys how experiences can be distilled forever in memory—and that this is something to be thankful for.” —Publishers Weekly

“This joyful ode to autumn will be a welcome seasonal selection for its multigenerational friendship and celebration of the natural world.” —School Library Journal
