Description
Leif the leaf is a worried leaf, afraid to fall with the autumn wind. As the other leaves say, "All leaves fall in the fall," but Leif wants to find a different way down. With the help of his friend Laurel, Leif uses the resources around him to create a net, a kite, and a parachute in hopes of softening his landing. As the clock ticks and the wind blows, Leif's attempts to stay aloft become more and more desperate. But in a culture that often prizes achievement, kids are often afraid to fail - and it's in those moments of failure that they can learn and grow. This beautifully illustrated storybook explores the idea that some of the ideas that don't work can be steps along the path to the ones that will.
