It’s the time of year where, for many of us, the leaves start to turn and fall, and the air gets crisp and cold. It’s a delightful time of year, and so we’re celebrating with picture books about all things nature this week.

Watercress
by Andrea Wang, illustrated by Jason Chin
Neal Porter Books
Watercress really is a lovely story. In poetic and concise first-person narration from the young girl’s perspective, Andrea Wang weaves a wonderful tale and tackles themes such as the experiences of immigrants in their home countries, the problems that result from being hesitant to share one’s stories, and the conflicting pressures on children to both fit in with a hostile world and respect and admire their family’s unique traditions. — Completely Full Bookshelf
