Autumn of the Leaf Jas is a warm, wonderfully clever and strikingly simple story of life and death intertwined. In this book, Jas's leaf and his friends change with the seasons and the approaching winter, to finally fall peacefully to the ground with the snow. The way in which this extremely delicate subject, which is after all part of real life, is presented is thought-provoking and moving for children and adults alike. "The Autumn of Jas's Leaf" has entered the canon of literary classics.
