Every living and non-living thing in this world has some sort of dependency on the things around it and the environment. This book takes us through such a journey in which we are shown some of the interdependencies in our world.
Title: I'm Afraid, Said the Leaf
Author: Danielle Daniel
Illustrator: Matt James
Publisher: Tundra Books
When the leaf says that it is alone, the tree comforts it. When a bird says it will fall, the wind motivates it by saying it will lift the bird if it falls. When a mushroom says it is bored, a mouse comes to play with it. And so on...
Every interdependency and interconnectedness in this world has to be preserved as it ensures everyone is cared for and there would be a stronger and healthier world.
