Title: Leif and the Fall
Author: Allison Sweet Grant, Adam Grant
Illustrator: Merrilee Liddiard
Publisher: Dial Books
Leif is an oak leaf and he is really anxious about falling when autumn comes. He is afraid that he would bruise himself, however, other leaves laugh at his foolishness and keep on reminding him that when fall comes, all the leaves would fall down. Still, Leif is scared!
Fortunately, his friend Laurel thinks up of many options to avoid this imminent disaster. They built a net of twigs, but the holes were too big. They built a kite out of tree bark and moss to gently fall, but it all gets tangled. Whatever plan they made, everything seemed to fail. Their discarded and failed creations started growing taller and taller!
Finally, the day arrived when a powerful cold breeze was blowing which took Leif off the branch. Lo and behold! Leif survived the fall and all went beautifully well.
📚 Beautiful messages of being brave, determined, and being imaginative. Fear of failure is shown as a step in the path to success.
📚 Gorgeous yet playful illustrations.
📚 Recommended for kids ages 4+
