This wonderful picture book follows the ox-cart man on his journey to sell his goods at the market and returns with his pockets full of coins. Then, the cycle begins again.
Miss Maple’s Seeds by Eliza Wheeler
Celebrate the miracles of each seed with kind-hearted and nurturing Miss Maple. This story will capture the child’s imagination as Miss Maple cares for seeds until it is their time to take root and become beautiful creations. Eliza Wheeler is the author of my favorite Children’s book, “Home in the Woods.”
Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn by Kenard Pak
A young girl walks through her town and a forest, taking notice of the signs of Autumn. I love the panorama spreads of colorful illustrations that allow younger readers to get a larger glimpse of the fall changes. If you enjoy this book, check out Goodbye Autumn Hello Winter and more snowy reads on our booklist Snowy Reads for Kids.
The Hundred-Year Barn by Patricia MacLachlan
This wonderful book is written from the perspective of a little boy who watches his community help his dad build the Hundred-Year Barn. The barn becomes a beloved landmark of his childhood. This red barn is more than a shelter. It is a symbol of peace, stability, and friendship. While building the barn, a dearly loved item is lost, only to be found many years later by the boy, now a man.

List of Fall Books for Kids: Fall-Themed Picture Books
Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson
It’s Fletcher’s first fall season. He is concerned about the falling leaves. This little fox has a lot to learn about the changing seasons. This precious picture book is one of my favorite fall books to read to my girls (in the spring, be sure to check out Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms).
The Scarecrow by Beth Ferry
Make sure to have a tissue. This one gets me every time. “Scarecrow stands alone and scares…” He has no place to go and no friends. Everyone remains outside of the fence; until one day, a baby crow falls from his nest. Scarecrow does the most unlikely thing, and a relationship is born. I cannot tell you more without spoiling this sweet story of friendship. We grab this book every fall.
Miss Suzy by Miriam Young
A gang of red squirrels takes over Miss Suzy’s cozy oak tree home. She makes a dollhouse her home and meets a brigade of toy soldiers who rid her home of the mischievous squirrels.
The Hundred-Year Barn by Patricia MacLachlan
The Brambly Hedge Series by Jill Barklem is great for young readers ready for a longer bedtime read. The illustrations are beautiful and filled with detail kids will love. The wintery weather is blowing in fast, but the harvest is not finished. Everyone sets out to gather their crops, but a little woodmouse finds herself lost in the woods after dreaming the day away.
