This is one of the most common books about understanding death found on library shelves. It describes Freddie’s life on the tree and his natural death. Best read to the very young who need a parallel to death rather than a story about a person.

Freddie and his companion leaves change with passing seasons, finally falling to the ground with winter's snow, illustrating balance between life and death.

Great little coffee table book to spark discussions on death and dying. Freddie the Leaf is worried about winter coming when he will fall off the tree and die. Gradually he begins to accept this as just one more step in the stages of life.
