A Classic for All Ages |
The Fall of Freddie the Leaf is a classic. In my former career as a writer and presenter of Executive Training, I found this to be a great training aid. Simply having others read it and summarize what it meant to them opened dialog that gave everyone a new perspective on living and life and a better acceptance of death.
I keep a copy in my library and whenever someone close to me transitions to the next life, I am comforted once again by reading Freddie the Leaf. Leo Buscalgia's writings are timeless. |

The Fall of Freddie the Leaf |
|
My husband is terminally ill with cancer and I bought this book to read to our young grandchildren. It's one of the most beautiful, touching stories I've ever read and I would recommend it as a good place to begin discussions about death with young children. The book takes a harsh reality and makes it soft and understandable. |

A Must For Anyone Experiencing Loss |
|
"The Fall of Freddie the Leaf" is a great book about dealing with loss. It's billed as a children's book, but adults will appreciate it as well. Freddie is a leaf on a tree, and learns from the wise leaf Daniel that all the leaves will eventually die and fall to the ground. When Freddie says he is scared, Daniel tells him that "We all fear what we don't know, Freddie. It's natural, yet, you were not afraid when Spring became Summer. You were not afraid when Summer became Fall. They were natural changes. Why should you be afraid of the season of death?" In addition, "Freddie the Leaf" delivers the important message life is bigger than any individual thing, that we're all a part of it, and that it goes on. As someone who lost his dad very recently, I can recommend this book to anyone going through the loss of a loved one. |
