If you feel like you're losing everything, remember that the trees lose their leaves every year and they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.

Here is a simple and lovely illustrated children's book that deals with death and grief and our attempts at making sense of it all, told through the metaphor of a tree losing its leaves as the seasons shift and change.

Story by S. Deborah Desser, with illustrations by Althéa Botha. 34 pages. Hardcover, 2021.
