If Leaves Fell Up

This is a children's picture book about a boy who laments how messy fall leaves are when they fall to the ground and he delights in imagining a stress free autumn with no leaves to rake because they all fell up. His imagination leads him to envision ways to blow them up to the sky or keep them from falling to the ground. Maybe each tree could have its own fan. Perhaps Santa's elves could tie them on with "elfish thread" or monkeys stick them on with super glue. But each solution creates another problem and he realizes that if leaves fell up there would be many negative consequences such as they'd bump the clouds and hide the sun. Birds and butterflies would avoid the skies and you could never fly a kite.
Eventually he comes to realize there are good reasons leaves fall to the ground...they fertilize the soil, they provide food and shelter for bugs and small creatures, plus they are a whole lot of fun to jump and play in. Eventually he concludes that though they can be messy, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves and the benefits to the earth bring more happiness than trouble. It's how the world was meant to be.
