“If You Find a Leaf” is a picture book following a child as they collect leaves, imagining that they can use the leaves as different things. Aimee Sicuro uses a mixture of artistic media for each illustration, with the leaves always as realistic photographs collaged into the larger image. A leaf can be a hat, or a sail for a boat, or a superhero cape. The endpapers identify different types of leaves. Fun, simple, and beautiful, this picture book is recommended for ages 3 – 5, and is a recommended purchase for libraries where leaf-based picture books fly off the shelves in the Fall.
