Leif is a leaf, and he's really worried. It is autumn, and he has been told, "All leaves fall in the fall." But in this story for readers 4 to 7, Leif is determined to find a different way down, and with his friend Laurel, he uses the resources around him to create a net, a kite, and a parachute in hopes of softening his landing. The clock is ticking, the wind is blowing. What will happen when a gust of wind pulls Leif from his branch? With her simple yet effective mixed-media illustrations, Merrilee Liddiard creates relatable childlike characters that just happen to be leaves.
