Dance Like a Leaf is a beautiful celebration of life and a gentle introduction to the death of a loved one.

A young girl begins to lovingly take the lead in the cozy shared autumn traditions as her grandmother's health declines. The evocative illustrations by Mexican illustrator Claudia Navarro pair perfectly with the poetic prose of author AJ Irving.

Along with the social and emotional lessons to explore with this lovely book, there are opportunities for movement exploration. Twirl under falling leaves, sway with the autumn breeze, and put on your warm scarf.
