(4) K-3 Little Tree can't bring himself to drop his leaves in autumn. His leaves turn brown; season after season Little Tree "hug[s] his leaves tight." When he realizes the other trees around him have long since grown up, Little Tree finally lets go. Well-manicured illustrations set against bright white backgrounds allow the too-overt message about growing up to take root.
