What Amazon Says:
With vivid watercolor collage illustrations crafted from crayon rubbings of actual fall leaves, this playful picture book captures the childhood joys of catching and identifying fall leaves. As leaves of all colors, shapes, and sizes tumble down with each WHOOSH of the wind, a child jumps, leaps, and reaches her way through the forest-while learning the names of leaves along the way. Will her persistence pay off?
What KIRKUS says:
"This lyrical ode to leaves is guaranteed to resonate with the burgeoning nature lover in your life... a must-read for young leaf peepers." -Kirkus Reviews
What I say:
Like a cool breeze on a hot day, all the delight and wonder of leaves announcing the season’s change dance off the pages. A simple story any child can understand and enact on the walk home, this book is the perfect fall Storytime book for 2026. Leaf follow-up activities and crafts abound!
BONUS: Don’t lock this book in the preschool room! Engaging notes in the back matter on the way the art was produced and the book assembled - a fascinating subject for older readers and art students.
