Larry Leaf

Winters in Ohio are long. The days are gray and cloudy. The sun shines only occasionally. In spite of this, we love it here. It is home. It was a cold winter day in January. Everything was covered in a blanket of snow. As I looked out the window, I noticed that there was only one leaf on our pear tree. It looked so alone and so cold as it twirled around in the wind. That little leaf just wouldn’t let go. I sat down in my comfortable chair near the window, and I wrote LARRY LEAF. This story teaches children about the seasons. Each season is beautiful in its own way.
