Perfect for young readers, My Lucky Leaf is a whimsical picture book about a child on a quest to catch a lucky leaf before it hits the forest floor. With vivid watercolor collage illustrations crafted from crayon rubbings of actual fall leaves, this playful picture book captures the childhood joys of fall as readers join in on a magical journey to catch a lucky leaf. As leaves of all colors, shapes, and sizes tumble down with each WHOOSH of the wind, a child jumps, leaps, and reaches her way through the forest-while learning the names of leaves along the way. Will her persistence pay off? Bonus materials include a glossary of fall leaves, a brief history on how Illinois schoolchildren selected the state tree, seasonal activities with fall leaves, and a behind-the-scenes look at how the art was created.
