10 More Fall Children’s Books We Love
Apparently one list of fall children’s books wasn’t enough.
We already shared some of our favorite fall books for kids, but there are too many good ones to squeeze into one post. So consider this Part 2…10 more books to pull out when the leaves start changing and you’re ready for all things autumn.
This list leans especially into the nature side of fall: changing leaves, acorns, pumpkins, animals getting ready for winter, and all those little seasonal changes happening outside. Some are stories, some teach a little something along the way, and all of them are beautiful additions to a fall book stack.

1. When Fall Comes by Aimée M. Bissonette
This is such a sweet introduction to everything happening in nature as summer turns to fall. It follows the changing season through plants, animals, and the world around us, making it a great one to read before heading outside to see what your kids can notice for themselves.
2. Full of Fall by April Pulley Sayre
If your kids are constantly collecting colorful leaves, add this one to your library stack. The gorgeous photographs capture fall as it changes from green to gold, orange, and red, with simple text that makes it especially good for younger kids.
3. The Little Yellow Leaf by Carin Berger
A little yellow leaf isn’t quite ready to let go, even as the other leaves around it begin to fall. This one is quieter and sweeter than some of the others on this list, with a beautiful story about courage, change, and finding someone to take the leap with you.
4. Pumpkin Island by Arthur Geisert
This one is so fun and a little bit quirky. When pumpkins begin taking over an entire town, things get increasingly out of control. The detailed illustrations give kids so much to look at and make this one you can spend plenty of time poring over together.
5. Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert
A fall classic for a reason. Leaf Man blows away with the autumn wind, traveling past fields, orchards, and animals…all created with real leaves. We especially love this one because it practically begs you to go outside afterward, gather your own leaves, and make a Leaf Man of your own.
6. Because of an Acorn by Lola M. Schaefer and Adam Schaefer
This is such a simple, beautiful way to show kids how connected everything in nature is. One little acorn leads to a tree, which leads to everything else that depends on the forest. It’s a great pick if you want a fall book that naturally opens up conversations about ecosystems and the world around us.
7. Lawrence in the Fall by Matthew Farina
Lawrence needs to bring a collection to school, but he isn’t sure what to collect. A walk through the woods with his dad helps him discover all kinds of little treasures hiding in nature. We love that this one celebrates noticing and collecting the simple things outside, and it might just inspire your kids to start a fall collection of their own.
8. Little Goose’s Autumn by Elli Woollard
In this sweet story, Little Goose knows something is changing but isn’t quite sure what she’s supposed to do as autumn arrives. As she searches for her place, she watches the other animals preparing for the new season. A sweet fall story with beautiful illustrations and plenty of nature woven in.
9. Hello, Harvest Moon by Ralph Fletcher
This one captures a different side of fall, the quiet, magical feeling of an autumn night. As the harvest moon rises, it lights up the world below and all the nighttime activity happening underneath it. A beautiful cozy read before bed.
10. Summer Green to Autumn Gold by Mia Posada
For the kid who always wants to know why the leaves change colors. This one explains the science behind those green summer leaves turning yellow, orange, and red in the fall, but in a way that’s still approachable and beautiful enough to feel like a picture book rather than a textbook.
More Fall Books for Your Library Stack
One of our favorite ways to mark a new season is simply changing out the books around the house. We don’t need a complicated activity every day. Sometimes putting a basket of fall books by the couch is enough to make the season feel a little special.
And between these 10 and Part 1 of our favorite fall children’s books, you should have plenty to add to your library holds this fall.
If your family has a fall book you pull out every year, send it our way! We’re always looking for another good one to add to the stack.
