Oak is the happiest leaf person in the whole oak tree. When the winter winds arrive, however, Oak is not ready to leave her tree.  Even after her family has moved to their forest floor home, Oak clings stubbornly to the tree - until she finally remembers what makes her tree a real home - family and friends. 

Oak’s story will resonate with anyone in your life who is afraid of change. And that is so many of us! Oak and her message are sweet, without becoming didactic. Fleming has created a character, both in attitude and illustration, that could easily populate more books.
