5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Well Done-My First Choice for this Subject!, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
At the age of 23, my husband died, leaving me alone to raise our two year old daughter. About the age of six, I shared this book with her. This title remains in our family library. An unemotional yet touching sharing. Leo Buscaglia has done so much for our humanity and does it in a real, from the heart sharing of his own soul. I have sat through his lectures and read more than one of his books. He has my utmost respect not only having experienced the loss of my first husband but also as a published author of "Angel Stacey/Daddy in Heaven". For many years I have and I will continue to recommend this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful man shares a true amazing view on life and death, 26 May 1999
By A Customer
This book is truly amazing. It not only gives a wonderful outlook on life and death, but is inspiration in making you want to live life to the full. I bought this book because a close friend of mine was dealing with the loss of her father. It not only helped her, but I enjoyed it and it lifted my spirit as well.Leo Buscaglia is amazing and gives his answer to why we are here. Find your life purpose and death is no longer something to fear !! Great for all ages

5.0 out of 5 stars A vibrant analogy of meaning of life and death, 7 Jan 1997
By A Customer
Buscaglia offers an insightful, gentle look, into the meaning of life and death. Through the eyes of nature he brings light to the experience of growing old and dying. A must for every family library, Fall of Freddie the Leaf, eases the heartaches of death while offering hope for eternal life.
