In November, the air grows cold and the earth and all of its creatures prepare for winter. Animals seek food and shelter. And people gather together to celebrate their blessings with family and friends.

Cynthia Rylant's lyrical language and Jill Kastner's rich, cozy paintings capture the cherished moments of this autumn month--the moments we spend together and the ones we witness in the world around us.


This beautifully illustrated picture book is a perfect way to celebrate the quiet magic of autumn:


  • A Perfect Thanksgiving Read-Aloud: A gentle story about gratitude, sharing pies, and giving thanks for the blessings of the season, from the food on the table to the babies in our arms.
  • Cozy Bedtime Story: Cynthia Rylant’s lyrical language and Jill Kastner’s warm, inviting paintings make this an ideal book to share before the world tucks in for its long winter sleep.
  • Beautiful Autumn and Fall Themes: Explore the sights and smells of November, from trees spreading their arms like dancers to the scent of pumpkin, squash, and cinnamon filling a home.
  • A Gentle Introduction to Nature: Watch as animals prepare for the cold times ahead, from cats piling up in barns to bees finding their earthy holes, showing how all of nature gets ready for winter.
