Can you imagine all the wonderful things you could do with your imagination and a leaf? 

This adorable story is written in rhyme. The end sheets are photos of real leaves and their name. It makes you fall in love with childhood and the Fall season all over again. Each illustration has a photo of real leaf used as a part of the picture. The illustrations are colorful and fun. Most of the illustrations capture one little girl dreaming of the things she can do with a leaf. Other children are represented with diverse backgrounds. There are no adults pictured but there's a sweet little dog on many pages. Sicuro does a great job of capturing the power of imagination.
