The Secret of Fall - John Coy

Descriere

nEach season has its own qualities that set it apart. Winter, with its stark-white crust of snow, turns even a mundane scene into a sparkling fairyland. Spring, along with her many shades of green, brings a promise of new beginnings. Summer gifts us with long, lazy days of endless blue skies and the scent of freshly mown grass. But fall has a magic, a secret, all its own. It offers a kaleidoscope of textures, smells, and colors.n n But what's behind those glorious colors we see among the treetops and upon the leaf-covered ground? Are leaves more than what they seem?n nThrough engaging text and charming artwork, young readers are invited to explore how and why leaves change color. And perhaps, after fall's secret is revealed, we learn something about ourselves and our own distinct beauty.n nBack matter delves into the science behind photosynthesis.n
