Jack - the story of a leaf
This book will touch your heart in a sweet little way. The life cycle of Jack parallels that of a human and the inevitable stages of life which cannot be avoided, and can be savored as we grow older and wiser. Jack is also very beautifully illustrated and conveys meaning in deep rich colors. --Karen Muldoon, author Alphabet Family series of children's booksJack, the story of a leaf by Kathie Knerl is a charming book that every child will identify with. When Jack longs to become part of leaf collection and realizes he isn't perfect - thanks to circumstances outside his control - he fears he will never be good enough to be loved. Soon, he learns that everything that he is just makes him more lovable. This is a wonderful story that will bolster any child's self-esteem and make them feel more loved. I highly recommend it. --EJ Thornton, author of I Have a Secret - Do I Keep ItBeing a great grandfather, I've read children's books to three generations, which I think qualifies me be a reviewer of children's books. But in this case I'm not the only reviewer, but my great-grandchildren are. They insist I read and re-read "Jack - the story of a leaf" over and over again. They love the wonderfully colored pictures, and look at them together even when I'm not reading to them.  I especially love the story Kathie Knerl has written, as it shows how valuable an individual is inspite of any blemishes or shortcomings they may have. I gladly give this book five stars! --Othniel Seiden, author of Shtetl
