A Leaf Called Greaf
Kelly Canby
Bear is all alone and lonely until he finds the greenest, most beguiling leaf. A leaf called Greaf. Bear holds Greaf tight throughout the days and nights that follow. Bear can barely remember a time before Greaf. It is as if things have always been this way. Until one day, they aren’t. Greaf changes with the seasons, and so does Bear. As Greaf leaves him, Bear feels a lightness and warmth that he had almost forgotten. Greaf has gone, but Bear knows its memory will hold a special place in his heart forever.
When my friend’s father passed away, we couldn’t find words to adequately convey our sympathy and love. Then I remembered Kelly Canby’s picture book A Leaf Called Greaf, and realised we actually had found the right words – they were in Canby’s book.
A Leaf Called Greaf shows us that what is gone is not, as it will always be in your heart.
Canby’s immaculate, kid-friendly illustrations offer a sense of warmth from one page to the next. Each artwork encapsulates the book’s captivating storyline, perfect for bedtime with the little ones.
