A Leaf Can Be... ("sequel" to the beautiful A Rock Can Be... reviewed earlier in the year)
Laura Purdie Salas, illustrated by Violeta Dabija
ISBN: 9780761362036
Soft-edged watercolors with bright splashes of natural colors, and lots and lots of green.
I have to admit up front that I didn't like this one as much as I loved A Rock Can Be, but it's still a really lovely book. I wish it had shown up a week earlier, as I would have used it in my most recent storytime.
Like the previous installment, we're looking at quirky (and rhyming!) uses of leaves, benefits of leaves, characteristics of leaves, and even emotional resonances of leaves. It's quite lovely, and reminded me strongly of the simple feel of A Tree is Nice.
