The Leaf Thief

The Leaf Thief

Something isn't right.

As autumn arrives, Squirrel notices that the leaves on his tree are beginning to disappear. Convinced that someone must be taking them, he sets out to uncover the culprit, dragging his friend Bird along on the investigation.

What follows is a funny and charming adventure filled with misunderstandings, surprises, and the gradual discovery that some changes are simply part of the world around us.

With expressive illustrations and plenty of humour, The Leaf Thief is a wonderful story for children who are curious about nature and love a character who is just a little bit dramatic.

Perfect for

• Autumn storytimes

• Children who love animal characters

• Curious little readers interested in the natural world

• Families looking for stories that inspire conversation

Why we love it

Squirrel's determination to solve the mystery creates plenty of laughs, but beneath the humour is a gentle story about change, patience, and understanding the world around us.

It's the kind of book that naturally sparks questions after reading and makes a lovely seasonal story to return to year after year.
