In November

In November drapes readers in a quiet, autumnal mood as the world transitions toward winter. The book observes how “the air grows cold” and the earth's creatures prepare for hibernation or migration while people gather with family and reflect on blessings. The lyrical text by Cynthia Rylant evokes a sense of pause, gratitude, and wonder. Jill Kastner’s soft, warm illustrations illuminate these moments with subtle detail — fallen leaves, animal dens, glowing windows — creating an intimate, reflective reading experience.
