Leaves are falling. The day is busy. But play is waiting. When a child invites Mom, Dad, and Nova the dog to stop working and come play, an ordinary afternoon turns into something special. Rakes rest. The blower stops. Laughter fills the air as a leaf pile grows-and so does the joy. Come Play! is a gentle, joyful picture book for toddlers and preschoolers that celebrates family, movement, and the magic of slowing down to share a moment together. With simple, rhythmic text and warm illustrations, this story reminds children and grown-ups alike that the best moments are often the ones we almost miss. Perfect for ages 2-4, read-alouds, fall storytimes, and cozy snuggles, Come Play! invites families to pause, look up, and play-together.
