“Colors change. Cold sweeps near. The time for gathering is here. Gather, gather, great and small. Gather food. Gather fall.” A palette of cool blues and rusty reds is a cozy match for this poetic narrative celebrating the harvest season. Animals and people are shown preparing meals and homes as temperatures drop. A family of skunks settles into a dark den beneath a porch, while an intergenerational family of humans (and two cats) sits down for a meal at a long dining table. “Gather, huddle, herd, heat. Gather, cuddle, hug, greet.” Whether imagining the warmth of a rabbit warren or an embrace from visiting relatives, this book epitomizes the sentiment of gratitude.
