If You Find a Leaf

Board Book

Grades Up to Preschool
Ages 0–3

A celebration of the fall season that encourages little ones to see the colorful leaves around them in an entirely new way. The artist uses real leaves of vibrant hues to make her oh-so-charming illustrations—now available as a board book with sturdy pages for little hands!

Every year, gusts of wind blow colorful autumn leaves to the ground. Some leaves make a crunch under foot, and others are so beautiful they deserve to be saved.

In this story a young artist draws inspiration from the leaves she collects and every leaf sparks a new idea. She imagines turning a Japanese Zelkova leaf into a boat to sail far away, a Honey Locust leaf into a swing to sway in the gentle breeze, and an American Basswood leaf into a hot air balloon to float high above the trees.

Little readers who turn the sturdy pages of this board book will be inspired to use their own imagination as they hunt for leaves this fall.
