On the first gold evening of autumn, Tia finds one copper leaf still holding tight to the old maple tree.
Then the North Wind arrives.
He sweeps leaves across the garden path, rattles windows, and insists that nothing gets to stay. But as Tia and her glowing star friend Lumo follow him through the orchard, past the pond, and back beneath the maple, they discover that the North Wind is not only restless. He is afraid of watching things leave.
With gentle watercolor illustrations and a tender read-aloud rhythm, The Starkeeper Girl and the Last Leaf helps children understand change, letting go, and the quiet hope of new beginnings.
A comforting picture book for ages 3-8 about autumn, courage, kindness, and the truth that everything that lets go is only making room to grow.
