Editorial Reviews

“A standout in a sparse crowd of children’s grief-related aids, The Last Leaf to Fall fills a literary and therapeutic void for children looking to make sense of loss. Told with compelling vulnerability while instilling beautiful hope, Watson reminds readers young and old that death is not a disappearing but a new awakening.” — Kacey L. Batterton, Licensed Professional Counselor and Child Therapist

“A touching book that is perfect for children who are just beginning to think about death. This carefully written, simple story deals with the issue of being afraid to die. The beautiful ending is surprising and hopeful. I recommend this book to every parent and teacher who needs a way to help a child through death, separation, and loss.” —Bobbee Pennington, Children’s Librarian at Bryan Public Library, Bryan, Texas.

“Beautiful characterizations open the door to a timeless natural lesson in this sweetly sad story told with simplicity and wonder.”— David Fleming, author of Summertime and Border Crossings.
