"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!"

"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. "

"It is sad to read the past comment on this book with a rating of 1. The message is clear that by living we have made a difference in someones life. With our passing the tree/family has become stronger with what we have left behind in values, morals and how we loved one another while on this earth. To think or believe we have had no effect on another human being whether a family, friend,etc. would have said I never lived. It is indeed a wonderful book of comfort to those who have lost love ones and provides a sense of purpose of why we are here...simply to love one another and to leave this world in a better place than we found it. I have given this book to many who had lost loved ones and the response has been most positive.I am sad for the person who wrote the negative as I feel this person is still in the anger stage of the grieving process. I wish them well"

"Freddy The Leaf is a wonderful story, and we were glad to find this new edition. We were disappointed to discover photographs rather than illustrations, though."
