Leo Buscaglia, Ph.D., was a native of California and an acclaimed professor of education at the University of Southern California. A regular on national television, Dr. Buscaglia's heartfelt talks were a cornerstone of PBS throughout the decade of the 1980s. Beloved by millions for his influential message of the limitless power of human love, Dr. Buscaglia was the author of fifteen books, including the million-copy bestseller Love. By the time of his death in 1998, Dr. Buscaglia's books had sold over 11 million copies combined.

The beloved classic from New York Times bestselling author Leo Buscaglia that has helped thousands of children and adults come to grips with life and death—a warm, wonderfully wise, and strikingly simple story about a leaf named Freddie.

Appropriate for all ages—from toddlers to adults—and featuring beautiful nature photographs throughout, this poignant, thought-provoking story follows Freddie and his companions as their leaves change with the passing seasons and the coming of winter, finally falling to the ground with winter's snow.  

An inspiring allegory that illustrates the delicate balance between life and death, The Fall of Freddie the Leaf has helped a generation of readers navigate death and dying, grief and bereavement, the passage of time, and loss of a loved one.
 
Leo Buscaglia approached life with joy and enthusiasm.  He pursued a path of perpetual learning that took him to places of wonder, excitement, and enlightenment.  His sense of urgency to live life now and explore all that is possible was contagious to all who know him.  His life was dedicated to the single concept of “Love” and all the beautiful and positive elements that it encompasses.
