Growing up on the East Coast with all its beauty cemented fall as my favorite season despite the lack of fall foliage here in California! When I saw the cover of Bella's Fall Coat with all the beautiful leaves it brought me right back to fall in New Hampshire as a child and all the wonderful things the season brings.The story and beautiful illustrations continued to make me feel nostalgic. It brought back all my favorite memories of fall like jumping in a pile of the leaves and the sound of them crunching beneath your feet and the taste of a newly plucked apple made even sweeter by the fact that it was self picked.Bella enjoys all these things as she whisks through her days full speed ahead despite her Gram trying to get her to slow down. Bella has outgrown her fall coat but refuses to accept this and continues to wear it as it literally unravels. Just like the passing days of childhood and the inevitable changes that brings; she refuses to listen until forced by circumstance to face the present and looming future.Bella discovers as she wears her new coat and finds a fun use for her old one that change isn't always bad. It's a great reminder to enjoy the moment but not dread the future because it holds wonders of its own.The whimsical illustrations tell a story of their own and Susan Gal truly captivated the heart of Lynn Piourde's story bringing it to life in pictures. Bella's Fall Coat is a wonderful read to enjoy in this season of fall.Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
I’m delighted to introduce Lynn Plourde [...] and her newest picture book, Bella’s Fall Coat. You may be familiar with some of Lynn’s 30 other titles which include: You're Doing That in the Talent Show?!, You're Wearing That to School?!, Wild Child, and Pigs in the Mud in the Middle of the Rud.Bella’s Fall Coat is charming look at one of childhood’s dilemmas, the desire to have the joys of our youth remain unchanged. This is a perfect time for this heart-warming story that celebrates the marvels of fall and invites us to experience this special time of year through the eyes of an adorable little girl.The language is as crisp and bright as a fall morning. The illustrations by Susan Gal are rich with autumn’s colors and fill the pages with warmth and movement.Sure to become a read-aloud favorite.
