Bear Helps the Forest Book Cover. A small bear walks uphill in the forest.

It’s that time of year!  Rake up those leaves.  Make a pile.  Jump and dance and twirl and swirl.

You don’t have to be a bear to have fun in the red and gold and bronze of autumn.

Add leaves to the compost or toss them into your garden for rich dirt in Spring. Or just leave them where they fall giving nutrients back to the soil.

Then head in and curl up with a good book.
