Review Quotes

"A timely story, one that yields multiple interpretations and meanings, from the "othering" of unfamiliar populations and those seeking refuge from a changing world to the impacts of climate change.Dieckmann beautifully weaves together some of today's most difficult themes into a deceptively simple tale."
--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

"A beautiful debut from Flying Eye [...] the intricate images, filled with polychromatic leaf-patterns and dynamic stillness, are too good to miss."
--The Guardian

"A beautifully illustrated story with several great discussion points: loneliness, misunderstanding and fear, bullying, global warming, and environmental protection."
--Little Cub Literacy

"I love the subtle important lessons expressed in this book such as xenophobia and climate change, issues I as a parent want my children to care about... Leaf is a treat in any collection and one I'm glad to have in our home."
--Kids Lit is Lit

"a great starting point to talk to the little ones about the effects of global warming."
--Meseterkep
