N2  - Last Leaf First Snowflake to Fall" takes us on a dreamlike voyage into nature at that secret moment when fall turns into winter. We find ourselves in a kind of paradise, which humans may be part of but which they have not despoiled. A Native father and son lead us through forests, down rivers, over lakes and ponds. Along the way we experience the primordial beauty of the physical world. This is nature as we all feel in our hearts it must once have been; The textural quality and luminous colors in the illustrations capture the feeling of a late fall journey on foot through the forest and then over the water by canoe to a place untouched by other people, and finally the magic of waking to a new season in a snowy grove of maple trees.
