Gathering Leaves

By Christina Lumenara

As autumn settles across the yard, a child begins gathering leaves while spending a quiet afternoon with Grandma and a small dog.

Some leaves are bright. Some are spotted. Some are curled, damp, or torn. Wind moves them. The dog nudges them. Shadows change them. What begins as a small collection slowly spreads across the porch, the grass, the fence, and the garden, becoming something that never quite stays the same.

Rather than arranging everything perfectly, the child learns to notice how the season keeps changing on its own.

Gathering Leaves is a gentle observational picture book celebrating curiosity, quiet attention, and the ever-changing beauty of autumn. Perfect for classrooms, libraries, grandparents, and families who enjoy peaceful nature stories during the fall season.
