Exciting news!!! I can finally reveal my big project of last year: The Secret of Fall 🍃🍁🍂 In bookstores everywhere this August! Written by John Coy and published by Sleeping Bear Press The Secret of Fall invites readers to explore how and why leaves change color. And perhaps, after fall’s secret is revealed, learn something about ourselves and our own distinct beauty.
It’s time for another cover reveal!
Each season has its own qualities that set it apart. Winter, with its stark-white crust of snow, turns even a mundane scene into a sparkling fairyland. Spring, along with her many shades of green, brings a promise of new beginnings. Summer gifts us with long, lazy days of endless blue skies and the scent of freshly mown grass. But fall has a magic, a secret, all its own. It offers a kaleidoscope of textures, smells, and colors. But what’s behind those glorious colors we see among the treetops and upon the leaf-covered ground? Are leaves more than what they seem?
Through engaging text and charming artwork, young readers are invited to explore how and why leaves change color. And perhaps, after fall’s secret is revealed, we learn something about ourselves and our own distinct beauty.
Explore how and why leaves change color in “The Secret of Fall,” written by John Coy and illustrated by Kristen Adam, releasing in August 2024!
