Autumn Leaves (Little Seasons) by Mirka Hokkanen - ADVISABLE

Autumn Leaves (Little Seasons) by Mirka Hokkanen. NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOK. Odd ott (Macmillan), 2025. $19. 9781250885616

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Hokkanen takes us through the uses, life cycle, and identification of many kinds of leaves. From the clever I had no idea this was a non-fiction book.  The cute illustrations with the expressive leafy faces and their caterpillar neighbor turn what could be a dry subject into a delight to enjoy. Hokkanen also has Spring Seeds, but I haven’t read it. It also has a tear-out memory card game which you should probably remove before circulating.
