Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn by Kenard Pak

A child greets a late summer morning and walks through the neighborhood. The child continues to greet different things: trees, foxes, butterflies, flowers, wind, and more. Each says hello back and explains how they are getting ready for fall. The child goes inside at night and greets the next morning as autumn.

This beautiful, vibrant picture book is a great read during those late summer or early fall days when you aren’t quite sure which season it will feel like. There is much to explore visually within each page; you will be able to spend time discussing the illustrations as well as the text. An aesthetically pleasing read!
