Why read it?

1 author picked The Fall of Freddie the Leaf as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I first read this book as a 21-year-old woman who had just lost her father. Other than losing pets, this was my first experience with loss.

I remember the simple way that the concepts of passing seasons and life and death were portrayed in such a comforting manner, and I was so grateful that someone gifted me with this book during the most difficult time in my life.
