This book blew me away! Wonderfully illustrated with evocative details to convey passing seasons, loss of life, and healing of the heart, DANCE LIKE A LEAF shines bright with its lovely literary devices (especially assonance and consonance), layered text and symbolic, sentimental sequencing, and vibrant and sensory-filled language. There's so much heart presented in this book: grandparent and grandkid bonding, caring in thoughtful ways, losing a loved one, treasuring memories, and the therapeutic power of time. So beautifully created.
