An artistic picture book about an autumn leaf’s journey that beautifully evokes the season A lone autumn leaf falls and flies away on a breeze. It travels up and over the world and down again–where it finally lands on the page of a little girl’s open book and becomes a keepsake.
The illustrations in this are absolutely gorgeous and absolutely the best part of this book. The text is soothing and lyrical and the story follows a leaf on its journey through the sky after it falls off a tree.
