Not leaves, but nature and color and art - The Legend of the Indian
Paintbrush. Wonderful story with a great message to encourage young artists.
it is about a young brave who is chosen to record his tribes history with
his talent for art. It would fit a Native American approach and you could
go into the wonderful colors of nature in the different seasons.
