Leaves Fall Down by Lisa Bullard illustrated by Nadine Takvorian

"Learning about Autumn Leaves"
With simple text, Ms. Bullard explains why leaves change color and fall to the ground.
A sweet dialogue between a boy and his mother keep this nonfiction text personable.
An art activity using leaves is shared in the back.
Text features: glossary, "more books to read",  index and a list of other books in the Autumn series (Apples, Apples Everywhere, Busy Animals, Pick a Perfect Pumpkin).  All those books look interesting and great to add to a classroom  Autumn unit.
My kindergartner saw the leaves starting to change and mentioned a fact from this book.
