Reach for this book when you want to slow down and reconnect with the natural world, or when your child has come home with a pocket full of leaves and pebbles. It is the perfect companion for a quiet afternoon after a nature walk, helping children see the extraordinary potential in ordinary objects. Leaf Man follows the wind-swept journey of a figure made of autumn foliage as he drifts past orchards, meadows, and rivers. While the story is simple, its emotional core is centered on curiosity and the beauty of transition. It gently introduces the concept of letting go as the seasons change, framed through a lens of wonder rather than loss. Ideal for ages 3 to 7, this book serves as both a seasonal celebration and a creative spark, encouraging children to look closer at the world beneath their feet and imagine the stories hidden in the landscape.
