About the book...
Follow the wondrous and challenging life of our friend, the leaf, living alone and happy and confident that only he controls his surroundings and his good fortune. Then one day, Mother Nature teaches a lesson we all can learn from.
Through the journey in this heartfelt book, you will gain a new appreciation when taking a walk past your favorite tree. Our friend, the leaf, is given a gift of knowledge and understanding about the beauty and wonder of the world around us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the story of how one little leaf that believed itself to be all alone in its life struggle discovers there are so many other factors at play, so many others its life depended upon without him even knowing. He sees the beauty in his own existence as well as in the relationship they have with each other. From the big mighty oak to the roots that support it, from the water that runs clean by its side giving it much needed nutrients to the sun shining down and making it all come together, this little leaf...and readers...learn that life isn't just a battle of one, but a battlefield of many. They learn that no one leaf, or person, goes through this world alone, not could they make it all by their lonesome. There are always other things, other people, other forces at work that make it all work, thus the beauty of life...and the beauty of this story.
The rhyme and meter make the words catchy for little minds that may wander while the illustrations draw the eye to explore all the other creatures displayed on the pages that also contribute to this life cycle in their own ways. You'd be hard pressed to look away from the scenes as they change from summer to autumn for the simple reason that the color palette is beautiful, but also because we're watching the life and times of leaf as he matures as all living things must. He grows from innocent awe and wonder to informed and wise all within a few pages, but its enough for the lessons learned to last his lifetime...and a beautiful reminder to all those little leaves out there simply trying to understand the world, and find their place in it.
