Leaf Man is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Lois Ehlert. The colors are vibrant, and both the story and the art allow children to fancifully imagine all that a leaf might do as it blows before the wind. Each page pictures its subject made out of leaves, for example, on the page where perhaps Leaf Man flew over the turkey, there is a turkey crafted from fall leaves. Lois Ehlert’s amazing illustrations include real fall leaves making this one of my favorite Fall books of all time. The pages are cut and layered in the shapes of hills. From ducks and geese to spotted cows Leaf Man is taking it all in.
