Inhaltsangabe

A story for anyone who has ever been afraid of facing the unknown—and a celebration of the friends who help us take the leap. A New York Times Best Illustrated Book.

It’s autumn. The apples are crisp, the pumpkins are orange, the geese are flying south, and brightly colored leaves are falling everywhere. Finally, as the days get shorter and the nights get colder, a little yellow leaf discovers that it is the very last leaf on the tree. The little yellow leaf does not want to let go . . . not quite yet. Even when the first frost arrives, this little yellow leaf holds on, determined.

Carin Berger’s stunning cut-paper illustrations—there are literally thousands of scraps of newsprint, catalogs, and ephemera assembled on these pages—tell a perennial and powerful story of courage, friendship, and the rewards of embracing change while introducing the fall season to young children.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Carin Berger is an award-winning designer and illustrator. Her cut-paper collages are made using ephemera, such as catalogues, old books, receipts, letters, and ticket stubs. In a starred review, Kirkus said of her Forever Friends, “Sophisticated, sensitive, and accessible, this picture book will offer new insights and pleasures with each season.” The Little Yellow Leaf was a 2008 New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books selection, and in starred reviews, Publishers Weekly called her A Perfect Day “lovely” and her Finding Spring “exceptional.” She is also the illustrator of the acclaimed Stardines Swim High Across the Sky and Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant, both by Jack Prelutsky, among other books.
