Reach for this book when your child is facing a transition they are not quite ready for, whether it is the first day of school, moving houses, or simply the fear of trying a new activity. It is a deeply comforting resource for children who tend to observe from the sidelines while others dive in. The story follows a single yellow leaf that clings to its branch long after the other leaves have fallen, capturing the quiet anxiety of being the last one to take a leap. Through Carin Berger's stunning collage illustrations, the book validates the feeling of 'not being ready yet' without judgment. It emphasizes that bravery does not always mean going first, sometimes it means finding a kindred spirit to hold onto. This is a gentle, poetic choice for children ages 3 to 7 who need to know that their timeline is okay and that they do not have to face big changes alone.
