The Fall of Freddie the Leaf

"We should never forget that no matter how hopeless the present may seem, we will find our strength again and we will survive."

The touching story of The Fall of Freddie the Leaf has become a classic. In this inspiring allegorical story, Freddie and his companions change colors through the season. They laugh and live, but must fall to the ground with the winter snow. With this tender portrait, Leo Buscaglia brings a reassuring message to anyone bereaved by the loss of a loved one.

To help you live through the grief and find a new beginning, Leo offers his compassionate advice:

"Grief is a healthy sign of our humanity and our ability to love. Through grieving we become whole again. This is not wasted time, for in grief we find a way to look toward the future again."

This story illustrates the delicate balance between life and death in a manner that helps both children and adults appreciate the changes of nature. Buscaglia tells us how to work through our grief and ultimately let joy back into our lives.
