Written & illustrated by David Ezra Stein
A bear discovers the magic of changing seasons.
In his first autumn, a curious young bear is puzzled as leaves fall from the trees. His attempts to reattach them fail, leading him to a cozy nap in the fallen leaves. As he awakens to a vibrant spring, new leaves greet him, unveiling the wonder of nature's cycles. This gentle tale captures the essence of seasonal change through the eyes of an endearing bear, offering a delightful introduction to nature's rhythms for young readers.
This simple, charming story of a young bear’s first autumn is perfectly suited to board book format. Bear is surprised when the leaves start falling off the trees, but when he tries to reattach them, it doesn’t work. Eventually, he gets sleepy, and burrows into the fallen leaves for a long nap. When he wakes up, it’s spring-and there are suddenly brand-new leaves all around, seeming to welcome him.
With its childlike main character and graceful illustrations, Leaves is a great way to teach the youngest children about the changing seasons.
