Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson
5.0
Definitely a great read for autumn! I absolutely loved this book, and I think it will be one of the all-time favorite picture books.
Fletcher notices changes in his tree. He notices all the leaves change colors and fall off. He goes to his mother and says that there's something wrong with the tree. But she only says for him not to worry, and that it is a natural part of fall.
But more and more leaves fall off, and Fletcher does what he can to prevent it. But eventually, all the leaves fall off and Fletcher is sad. However, the next morning Fletcher sees that the tree is covered with snow, and more beautiful than ever.
The illustrations are great: colorful, and full of character with pastels/mixed media. The balance of text to illustrations is pretty balanced, and the story - while always best read by a parent/guardian - can be read by advanced readers with joy.
