In November

Harcourt, 2000
“In November, the earth is growing quiet. It is making its bed, a winter bed for flowers and small creatures.” Thoughtful and reflective, this beautiful picture book celebrates the sights, sounds, and scents of the season. Using rich, evocative language and lush, painterly illustrations, it describes the activities of both animals and people as they prepare for winter.
