Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter
Kenard Pak · 2017
82/100
👍 Worth It
Kenard Pak pulls off something genuinely lovely here — a call-and-response walk through the turning season that works as both a bedtime story and a quiet nature lesson. The illustrations shift from amber to cool twilight in a way that actually mirrors a child settling toward sleep. Families who love nature-forward picture books will want both books in this series.
