What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and focuses on the natural lifecycle. It touches on the 'death' of leaves and the onset of winter in a way that is realistic but hopeful, framing it as a necessary part of nature's rhythm rather than a loss.
Ideal Reader
A 3-year-old who is fascinated by the crunching leaves on the sidewalk or a preschooler who has expressed worry about the trees 'losing' their leaves and needs a reassuring explanation of why it happens.
