It's fall! The leaves are turning red, yellow, brown, and gold.

When the days grow shorter and colder, it's time for the trees to prepare for winter. The leaves begin to separate from the trees. As the leaves get less water and sunlight, their chlorophyll fades, and other pigments appear.

Betsy Maestro's lucid text and Loretta Krupinski's bright pictures explain the magical process of how leaves change color in autumn. This book also includes simple activities and places to visit so that you can enjoy the changing colors with your family.
