Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the crunch of autumn leaves or asks why the trees are turning bare. It serves as a gentle introduction to the cycles of nature, helping children process the idea of change and letting go. Written from the first-person perspective of a leaf, the story transforms a complex biological process into a personal, relatable journey. As part of the Hello Reader series, this Spanish-language edition is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students building their vocabulary. The unique collage illustrations use real photographs to bridge the gap between art and science. It is a comforting choice for parents who want to foster a sense of wonder about the outdoors while teaching that endings, like a leaf falling, are just part of a beautiful, recurring cycle.
