Bookroo's summary

A little squirrel wakes to find his tree shedding its leaves, sparking fear and confusion. With his sister, he tries to reattach the vibrant leaves, but they keep falling. Their wise mother reveals the secret of autumn, teaching them about the cycle of seasons and the promise of spring's renewal. Will they embrace the beauty of change?

From the publisher

As the leaves on the trees go from green to red and gold, two curious squirrels embrace the change of seasons! When he wakes up one morning to find that his home tree is changing, the little squirrel is scared! Why are all the leaves falling off? Quickly he corrals his sister and they gather up the leaves in colorful pawfuls. But try as they may to stick them back on the branches, it’s hopeless: Yellow, orange, red, and brown, all the leaves keep falling down! It’s only when their wise mama explains what happens in autumn that the two little squirrels understand the seasons are changing. Green leaves will sprout anew in spring!
