Synopsis
It is a crisp fall day in Appalachia and Katie is learning about the season of fall as she and her mother walk to the local Autumn Festival. She sees squirrels and other animals putting away food for the cold winter months and compares it to the canning of fruits and vegetables that she and her mother did the day before.
At the Autumn Festival, she experiences Appalachian music while admiring the beautiful fall mums and pumpkins. Katie sees and learns about many other traditional Appalachian customs, like making apple butter, quilting, folk toys, and pumpkin patches. The fun illustrations make this a book for the entire family as they go with Katie on an autumn adventure!
