Bookroo's summary

In a world of falling leaves, one little yellow leaf clings to its branch, not ready to let go. As autumn deepens and frost arrives, the leaf faces the daunting unknown. Will it find the courage to release and embrace change? This tale of bravery and friendship explores the beauty of letting go and the support of those who help us leap into the new.

From the publisher

As all the other leaves float off and fly past, Little Yellow Leaf thinks, I’m not ready yet. As the seasons change all around, Little Yellow Leaf holds on to the tree. Still not ready. Will Little Yellow Leaf ever be ready? This is a story for anyone who has ever been afraid of facing the unknown—and a celebration of the friends who help us take the leap.
