IF YOU FIND A LEAF, by Aimée Sicuro is the perfect book for Fall.
Beautifully illustrated, Aimée Sicuro has incorporated a wide variety of real leaves into her mixed media illustrations.
This book has appeal for a broad age-range of kids. Spare text and easy reading for young ones. But the message of encouraging kids to get creative and imagine of all the crafty things a leaf can be— that has inspiration for all ages!
I am a lover of a book that encourages a reader to look and think outside the box. And the back pages featuring some examples of real-kid-leaf-inspired-art is brilliant!
Happy Autumn, everyone. I hope this lovely book finds you crafting your own fabulous leaf creations!
