The Gold Leaf

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matthew Forsythe. A fable with an unexpected ending. In the spring, a gold leaf appears in the forest. One animal after another snatches the leaf for itself, resulting in its destruction. When the next spring brings another gold leaf, the animals are delighted one has returned and allow it to just be. Lovely stylized illustrations with gold-leaf accents softly depict the forest wildlife and the changing seasons.
