Horn Book (Mon Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2019)

In this quietly joyful paean to fall, lush acrylic paintings in vivid autumnal colors foreground "frisky" gray squirrels; plump orange pumpkins; and shiny red apples that look "like ornaments." The brief, lyrical text is pitched perfectly to preschoolers. As with its companion, When Spring Comes, this board book edition's smaller trim size doesn't diminish the impact of Dronzek's bold compositions.

Watch the world transform when fall comes! In the middle of fall, it takes only one gust of wind to turn the whole world yellow and red and orange.

Caldecott Medalist and New York Times-bestselling author Kevin Henkes’s memorable text introduces basic concepts of language and the unique beauty of the fall season. Laura Dronzek’s expressive paintings illuminate pumpkins, apples, falling leaves, busy squirrels, and the transformation from colorful autumn to frosty winter.

“This exquisite picture book will inspire youngsters to get outdoors and observe the world around them.”—School Library Journal (starred review)

In a starred review, Kirkus called In the Middle of Fall “A touching portrait of the fall season from two superb artists.”

In the Middle of Fall, Winter Is Here, When Spring Comes, and Summer Song make for a beautiful quartet of seasonal-theme picture books to share at home or in the classroom. Ideal for introducing the season, for story time, and for bedtime reading.
