A girl urges her mother to reveal a mysterious sentiment during an autumn walk.
On a breezy autumn day, a mother and daughter embark on a walk filled with small adventures—spotting kittens, colorful trees, and a vibrant sunset. As they wander, the girl persistently asks her mother to 'say it.' What secret sentiment is she waiting to hear? This tender tale explores the subtle expressions of love shared in everyday moments between parent and child.
When a little girl and her mother take a lovely autumn walk together, Mom’s small observations–and gentle humor–convey a big, special sentiment. It’s a golden, windy autumn day, and a mother a daughter set out walking among the swirling leaves. As they wend their way, they share little adventures–spying a kitten, seeing the trees zigzag with streaks of color, catching some floating milkweed, watching the setting sun color the clouds. Throughout their walk, the girl keeps urging her mother to “say it” with more and more persistence. What could “it” be? From a sterling picture-book team comes a quiet story that shows the many ways love is expressed in the small moments shared between parent and child.
