"A lyrical ode to that magical time in autumn when the leaves turn yellow"--

A curious bear observes how leaves change throughout the seasons.

When the forest animals find a gold leaf, they fight about who gets to have it.

As Freddie experiences the changing seasons along with his companion leaves, he learns about the delicate balance between life and death.

Life as a leaf is pretty sweet. The weather is pleasant, the view is fine, and everything just feels fresh. But when autumn breezes begin to blow, adventurous Birch, nervous Oak, and grumpy Maple each have their own way of facing the new crispness in the air. The squirrels take pleasure in warning the leaves about the transformations to come: New colors! And more ... an actual fall.

A man made of leaves blows away, traveling wherever the wind may take him. On die-cut pages.
