The New York Times’ List of Best Illustrated Children’s Books 2008 pointed me to this perfect gem of a book: “The Little Yellow Leaf” by Carin Berger. This book struck a chord with both the nature lover and would-be artist in me. I immediately fell in love with its main character of a tenacious little leaf. I loved the beautifully simple-yet-complex collage illustrations.
If there’s a child of any age of your Christmas list, check out this book. It’s definitely on my Christmas gift list this year.
