The Last Leaf
by Mel Drop
High on Windswept Hill, a mighty oak welcomes spring as its branches fill with bright green leaves. But one tiny leaf is the very last to appear—and the other leaves aren't convinced it belongs.
Teased for being small and weak, the little leaf faces changing seasons and unexpected challenges, proving there may be more to strength than size.
The Last Leaf is a heartwarming story about courage, perseverance, and believing in yourself—even when others doubt you.
