'My mind is blown by the strong and powerful messages contained within this book… The Last Leaf's tale comes complete with stunning illustrations which are bright and bold, just like Crinkle, and carry a theme to show that in Nature, nothing ends if it is nurtured.
​
I found myself smiling throughout each and every page of The Last Leaf, and recommend this book be stocked in school, home and kindergarten libraries, in order to teach self-empowerment at an early age.’

'Al has a new way of solving problems and mysteries. I enjoyed Al’s creative adventures. Billy Baldwin’s That’s Al is full of humor, as well as science... This book will help children understand their friends and classmates who solve problems differently. Highly recommended.'
