The Last Leaf (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780989716611)

Have you ever wondered how a child processes sadness and loneliness after the loss of a loved one? Are there fears and anxieties they never had to deal with before? Do they start questioning their own mortality?

The Last Leaf is an honest, simply told story about the life cycle, as explained through the four seasonal changes and narrated from the perspective of one leaf on a tree. While everybody works through their own emotions and experiences differently, The Last Leaf may help guide both child and adult as they embark on the first steps of their journey to coping, understanding, and healing.

S. Deborah Desser's open-ended story is gentle and nurturing; an ideal place for a comforting conversation about the circle of life to begin. Accompanied by Alth饌 Botha's exquisite illustrations, The Last Leaf opens our eyes to the wonders of nature and how it relates to us.
