A Must For Anyone Experiencing Loss October 14, 2008
"The Fall of Freddie the Leaf" is a great book about dealing with loss. It's billed as a children's book, but adults will appreciate it as well. Freddie is a leaf on a tree, and learns from the wise leaf Daniel that all the leaves will eventually die and fall to the ground. When Freddie says he is scared, Daniel tells him that "We all fear what we don't know, Freddie. It's natural, yet, you were not afraid when Spring became Summer. You were not afraid when Summer became Fall. They were natural changes. Why should you be afraid of the season of death?" In addition, "Freddie the Leaf" delivers the important message life is bigger than any individual thing, that we're all a part of it, and that it goes on. As someone who lost his dad very recently, I can recommend this book to anyone going through the loss of a loved one.

End of Life Book October 11, 2008
The Fall Of Freddie the Leaf is a wonderful book for young and old alike to read if a loved one is dying. I for one will be using this book in my daily practice as a Hospice nurse.

Raves for The Fall of Freddie the Leaf October 3, 2008
The Fall of Freddie the Leaf is an absolutely awesome book. It is everything friends had told me it would be. I read it to my 4 year old grandson and of course had to read it to him again within a couple of hours. What a beautiful way of explaining the life and death process!

Lovely fable September 27, 2008
What an absolutely beautiful parable! The facts of life and death are poetically revealed through the story of a maple leaf named Freddie, who experiences a year of life. I understand that the purpose of writing this book was to explain the reasons behind death, and the result is exceedingly poignant.
