Leaves by David Ezra Stein

Leaves by David Ezra Stein

This simple, charming story of a young bear's first autumn is perfectly suited to board book format. Bear is surprised when the leaves start falling off the trees, but when he tries to reattach them, it doesn't work. Eventually, he gets sleepy, and burrows into the fallen leaves for a long nap. When he wakes up, it's spring-and there are suddenly brand-new leaves all around, seeming to welcome him.

With its childlike main character and graceful illustrations, Leaves is a great way to teach the youngest children about the changing seasons.

David Ezra Stein is the author and illustrator of numerous children's books. Is David going to win? Is he sure he's right? Is the author attempting to recreate this enchantment? David Ezra Stein lives in New York's Kew Garden.

David Ezra Stein is the author-illustrator of several children's books, including Leaves, which received the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award. I'll never forget sitting in a loved one's lap and having a whole world open up in front of me, he recalls, a world brought to life by the visuals and the grown-up's speech. The sense of awe is something I'd like to re-create in my own writings. David Ezra Stein is a New Yorker who lives in Kew Garden.
