Spring Equinox, The. Ellen Jackson. Even though we happen to be a Pagan family, any family would enjoy the history of the Autumn Equinox in this book. It's great to read what many ancient cultures did to celebrate the harvest and incorporate some into our modern life. 10 people found this helpful.

These are fun books about the fall season that could be read to students or that could be located in the classroom library during the seasons unit. Such books would help enrich students' understanding of the fall season. Great idea to have a nature table with books for each season to allow children to explore the seasons. Nice collection of fall picture books. We love Woody, Hazel and Little Pip.

The autumnal equinox is the first day of fall. It is celebrated by many different cultures and plays a significant role in some beliefs. For most people, fall is a time that ushers in harvests, preserving food for the upcoming months, enjoyment of the colors of the changing leaves and beginning to prepare oneself both physically and psychologically for the upcoming colder months. Consider staying up during the night to welcome autumn. Many people like to welcome in fall by remaining awake all night, to honor the equal length of day and night. Perhaps tie this in with a celebration with friends, by holding a small dinner party which features autumn flavors, such as squash, pears and apples.

3-5. This attractive book completes the quartet that includes The Winter Solstice (1994), The Autumn Equinox (2000), and The Summer Solstice (2001). One or two spring holidays, chosen to represent a variety of cultural traditions, are spotlighted in each two-page spread.

The September equinox (or Southward equinox) is the moment when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward. Due to differences between the calendar year and the tropical year, the September equinox can occur at any time between September 21 and 24. At the equinox, the Sun as viewed from the equator rises due east and sets due west. Before the Southward equinox, the Sun rises and sets more northerly, and afterwards, it rises and sets more southerly.
