Publisher Description
From the author of the New York Times–bestselling Pout-Pout Fish adventures, Hello, Fall! is a gorgeous celebration of the autumn season.
Fall is here! Colorful leaves whisper to each other. Geese honk as they flock across the sky. Pumpkins listen patiently from their patch. The season announces itself in all sorts of ways—if you stop to say hello! A grandfather and his granddaughter welcome fall in this sweet, whimsical story about finding beauty and wonder in every moment.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this quiet story by Diesen (the Pout-Pout Fish series), a child and her grandfather reflect on their autumnal walk: "Squirrels were everywhere, digging holes and hiding acorns. We wondered: Would they remember all those spots later?" The pair who, in Fleming's gentle artwork, appears clad in winter coats stop to eat apples, pick out pumpkins from the patch, and joyfully leap into a pile of leaves. All the while, they listen to the sounds that nature makes the honking geese, laughing chrysanthemum blooms, and "red leaves talking to yellow leaves talking to orange leaves talking to purple leaves." The grandfather and grandchild carry the warm memory home as they reminisce around a fireplace and, in a final spread, gather for a Thanksgiving feast with others. Diesen subtly conveys how experiences can be distilled forever in memory and that this is something to be thankful for. Ages 2 6.
