Freddie the LeafI read "The Fall of Freddie the Leaf A Story of Life for All Ages" by Leo Buscaglia. It's a story about the life cycle of leaves, one named Freddie. It talks about life and growing and the process of death. It was sad but I loved it.
From the jacket:
"This story by Leo Buscaglia is a warm, wonderfully wise, an dstrikingly simple story about a leaf named Freddie.
"How Freddie and his companion leaves change with the passing seasons, finally falling to the ground with winter's snow, is an inspiring allegory illustrating the delicate balance between life and death.
"Both children and adults will be deeply touched by this inspiring, thought-provoking treatment of so sensitive a facet of true life."
