A FALL DAY A breeze blows through the park The air feels chilly Two boys play with their grandma Red orange and yellow leaves swirl to the ground The trees are getting ready for a cold winter Fall leaves come in many shapes sizes and colors 5 CHAPTER 1
During winter it is hard for trees to keep their leaves healthy So in fall trees seal the ends of their branches This causes the leaves to dry up and fall off The leaves die but the trees stay alive The boys run and hop through the dry leaves on the ground FUN FACT In fall some people travel to see leaves change color This activity is called leaf peeping 6
This national park in Japan is a popular spot for leaf peeping Their grandma asks them to find 10 different types of leaves The boys race from tree to tree Some leaves are small and others are big It does not take the boys long to find 10 types of leaves 7
