Fall's Keeper Kelley Tom

As the autumn countryside peaks into vivid color, little Cameo listens to her Grandmother's old stories that are memories, that are new to her. Fleeting, but worth holding onto, what she hears reveals clues about herself but also challenging her to explore the changes happening all around her. Using her young senses, with both eyes open and two hands out, she finds fall for herself as it hides in plain sight; like a lucky penny, like a blown away hat. It is a charming tale of Mother Nature's seasonal glories unveiled. Seen through one girl's discoveries, the transformation is at once eternal yet fresh and surprising. Her visions are portrayed in tender watercolor illustrations by the author.
