Review: Best book ever written - I feel like this book is so wonderful because of how necessary the content is for the intended audience. I learned about this book years ago in college in my Death, Dying and Bereavement class. It is brilliantly written. It is eloquent as it touches on the the most poignant and common points of life. And it is simple as it is written for children. I buy this book anytime a friend or loved one with a child suffers a loss. I just purchased one for my friend who's dog passed. She has three elementary age children and they loved this book. They were very grateful for the gesture.
Review: Highly revommend - This is an excellent story to use with children and even adults to read when dealing with grief and loss of a human or pet!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Timeless story of life and death for all ages
*by C***S on January 17, 2005*

Freddy, a maple leaf, is born in the spring, and grows to know his fellow leaves and his surroundings. Although leaves superficially look the same, he learns and appreciates the subtle differences between himself and each other leaf. He admires a larger leaf, Daniel. Daniel has a deeper understanding of life and death. He helps Freddie understand each of his phases of life. Finally, Daniel explains death and letting go. The book uses the gentle, concrete metaphor of the annual changes in leaves on a tree to help anyone appreciate the different phases of life. Each leaf leaves the tree differently: some drift down quietly, and others fiercely resist the tug of the wind. This shows how each person approaches death differently. Freddy resists until he is withered and brown, the last leaf on the branch. Finally he lets go and experiences a sense of peace. Although the leaves, die each year, they are part of the tree which lives on, although even it has a finite life. the book discusses the interconnecedness of life and death. however, it does not take a stand on the specifics of a life after death. This would help children of a wide range of ages appreciate not only death, but also the different phases of life. Each time Freddy the leaf changes with the seasons, it is puzzling but he learns its value. He sees how the tree and the leaves have purpose. this helps one see that life has purposes that may not be immediately obvious. This book is also moving for adults who may be experiencing a life transition. I recommend that anyone, of any age take this book and read it under a tree.
