"The Fall of Freddie the Leaf"
As an educator and a parent and grandparent, I have had many opportunities to share this book and its simple story with children, and even adults, who are questioning the "whys" of life and death. Simple enough for little children to comprehend, it also touches adults in a beautiful way. I keep several copies on hand for such occasions. And I, too, appreciate the lovely ideas contained therein. I highly recommend it!

Very wonderful for my purpose!
I send this story to people morning a lost loved one. It is appropriate for all ages. The first one I took to a six-year-old girl who had lost her big brother that morning. The last one went to an elderly woman who lost her husband.
