New situations can be scary but also thrilling, as three adorable autumn leaves, surprised by their turning colors and the promise of the fall to come, discover in this funny and heartwarming story, the perfect tool for any child who struggles with change.

In this picture book destined to become a fall classic, life as a leaf is pretty sweet. The weather is pleasant, the view is fine, and everything just feels fresh. But when autumn breezes begin to blow, adventurous Birch, nervous Oak, and grumpy Maple each have their own way of facing the new crispness in the air. The squirrels take pleasure in warning the leaves about the transformations to come: New colors! And more … an actual fall. But will the ground be the end? Or a new beginning? This charming and reassuring picture book about finding joy in change will be returned to again and again.

Jacob X. ★★★★★

The illustrations of those three leaves are so expressive—my daughter giggles every time they realize their colors are changing. It's a sweet way to talk about big feelings, and the story's short enough to hold her attention before bed.

George R. ★★★★★

My three-year-old is usually a tough crowd for new books, but the way these three leaves discover their changing colors just clicks with her—she giggles every time we see the one who's surprised. The story's mix of funny and heartwarming is spot-on, and it's become our go-to before bed this week.

Mia X. ★★★★★

We've read this one maybe ten times already since it arrived — my kid loves how the leaves go from nervous to excited about their changes, and the page where they realize their colors are turning always gets a giggle. It's a sweet way to talk about new things being scary but fun.
