This is a cute book showing the magical things of Autumn. A little boy named Levi loved Autumn very much and decided to make a potion. He added in it different things like leaves, pies, crunch of leaves, whistle of wind, happiness, togetherness, hugs, etc. basically the things he can see, hear, touch, smell or taste and made his perfect potion. Illustrations are lovely and a treat to eyes. Good work by the author.

I was happy to receive Thank Fall by Ciara Hill as a gift from a friend who knows how much I adore the fall season. This book beautifully captures the spirit of fall, with its changing leaves, football, festivals, hot cocoa, and more. It's a joyful and vibrant read for both children and families.

The colorful illustrations and diverse cast of characters make the story captivating and imaginative. The main character, Levi, shares the magic of the season with readers, leaving a heartwarming message to cherish. The book even includes a coloring/sketch page at the end, encouraging young readers to create their own fall memories.

Thank Fall is a delightful read that I highly recommend to all diverse households with young children. It's a perfect way to celebrate the wonders of the up coming fall season together.

We loved this book! The illustrations are perfect. I asked my 6 y.o. what her favorite part of the book was and she excitedly replied "everything"!

Levi is on a quest to make an autumn potion for his favorite season, Fall. The book is cute and definitely made me feel like it was Fall. I love that he's mindful of what makes him happy and takes time to enjoy nature and the special people in his life.

I'm happy to see more books like Thank Fall that represent Black/African American families.

I was gifted this book in exchange for my review. These views are 100% my own.

This book perfectly displays love and togetherness. Thankfulness and creativity. This little boy wants to capture the essence of what makes fall and I'm here for it. Seeing things through a child's eyes give us adults a new found appreciation for things we once took for granted. Wonderfully written book with equally wonderful illustrations. If you like warm and fuzzy feelings, spilling over with the colors of fall, good food, fun times, friends and family, this is your book.

I always try to buy a few new books for my kiddos as the seasons change throughout the year and this is the perfect addition to our fall collection. It’s a sweet story of a child collecting their favorite things about fall to create a potion to keep fall around long after it’s gone. From the changes in nature to the love of family and friends, it’s a sweet story about a very magical time of year.

A great autumn book for kids. A little boy shares all the wonderful thing about Fall for a special potion he can hold close to him during the cold winter season. Picking pumpkins and spending time with family, and even gazing at the stars are some of my favorite autumn activities too. I loved the art and the message.

Fall represents lovely weather and leaves changing colours amongst other festive events. I can relate to Levi's love for the season. He takes us on a journey to explore activities and engages our senses as he prepares his fall portion. It's an enjoyable book!

In Thank Fall: A Mindful Story Celebrating the Magic of Autumn! Little Levi loves the autumn season. As he relishes in the captivating beauty of his favorite time of year, he mindfully creates a potion consisting of all the magical components of fall: the sights, aromas, sounds, warm feelings, unique textures, delicious tastes, the love of family, friends and so much more. He wears this potion around his neck.
Written with the imaginative eyes of a child, award-winning author Ciara L. Hill eloquently describes all the incredible elements of fall. This story is guaranteed to invoke your senses and personal memories. The extraordinary work of illustrator Agia Putri completes this story. Putri did an outstanding job capturing autumn's physical features and the story's enduring emotional experiences. I loved each scene and the cute multigenerational, multicultural characters that enhanced the story. The characters’ experiences made me tear up.
Thank Fall: A Mindful Story Celebrating the Magic of Autumn! by Ciara L. Hill is a fantastic addition to any home library or classroom. Children learn about the season while having fun and can also partake in their own mindful autumn scavenger hunt, just like Levi.
