Fall In Time

Why fall? Join Russet, a curious little squirrel, as she experiences her very first autumn! She wakes up to a world that is suddenly... falling. Leaves drift from the trees, acorns drop with a plink, and pinecones tumble down. Soon, the temperature falls, and the rain falls too. At first, Russet is worried about the wonderful mess-why is nobody cleaning it up?

But as she scampers through the land, she discovers a magical secret. The jaybird is hiding fallen chestnuts, the groundhog is lining its den with fallen leaves, and the geese are following the falling sun to a warmer place. Through playful rhymes and beautiful black-and-white pictures waiting for your colorful touch, Russet learns that nothing in nature is wasted. She realizes that to stay and play in the falling leaves, she must prepare, just like the world around her. This enchanting story reveals how autumn's beautiful cascade isn't a mess at all-it's nature's way of making everything fall right into place.
