LEAF MAN
Fall has come, the wind is gusting, and Leaf Man is on the move. Is he drifting east, over the marsh and ducks and geese? Or is he heading west, above the orchards, prairie meadows, and spotted cows?

With illustrations made from actual fall leaves and die-cut pages on every spread that reveal gorgeous landscape vistas, here is a playful, whimsical, and evocative book that celebrates the natural world and the rich imaginative life of children. |

"Out in the fields, eggs are hidden from view, clinging to leaves
with butterfly glue.
Soon caterpillars hatch. They creep and chew. Each one knows what it must do..." And so begins the life cycle and journey of the magnificent butterfly. "Waiting for Wings" begins with small pages that represent the egg, chrysalis and caterpillar stages, and blossoms into bright jewel-tone double-page spreads of butterflies and flowers. Each page adorned with peaceful and simple rhyme... "We watch them circle, land on their feet, unroll their tongues, and begin to eat." The book includes butterfly and flower indentification pages as well as butterfly information: What is a butterfly? How does a butterfly begin its life? How does a butterfly eat? Lois Ehlert has once again created an extraordinarly splendid nature book. |
