The first apple has fallen from the tree, and Faith knows that Uncle Arthur will come to help with the applesauce, even though Aunt Lucy won't be with him this year. But when he does, Faith notices he's missing the mischievous twinkle in his eye and his many tall tales about how he lost his finger. Will Faith, her family, and the old apple tree help Uncle Arthur begin to heal and find his stories again? This bittersweet tale of life, loss, and love is told in beautiful free verse from the perspectives of various characters. Charmingly illustrated, it poignantly captures the feelings of growing up, growing old, and sharing stories and sweet summer apples with those you love. 104 pgs, pb. ~Rachel E.

Description
Publisher's Description of Applesauce Weather
When the first apple falls from the tree, Faith and Peter know that it's applesauce weather — and that Uncle Arthur should be here to tell his stories with a twinkle in his eye. But this is the first year without Aunt Lucy, and when Uncle Arthur arrives, there's no twinkle to be found and no stories waiting to be told. Might a little love and patience make a difference? With warm, expressive illustrations by Amy June Bates, this heartfelt tale by award-winning poet Helen Frost highlights the strength of family and the power of a good story.
