Buddy

Buddy will serve as a teaching/learning tool. It is a book about seasons, science, color appreciation, and family. The teaching tools are demonstrated through Buddy, a beautifully illustrated leaf who seeks adventures and struggles to learn patience and acceptance of his situation. He learns the importance of responsibility to his family. This book is rich in vocabulary. Little imaginations will take flight, and their observance about the active world around them will be greatly enhanced.
