Once Upon a Tree, There was a Change
by Marcia M. Holm

---

In the heart of the meadow, there are whispers of change. The animals, bees, and butterflies know it. But the leaves in the birch tree aren’t quite sure yet what’s happening. As they turn from vibrant green to golden yellow, the wind calls them to let go and discover a world beyond their branches. Most of the leaves joyfully embrace the journey, floating high above hills, streams, and animals before settling under a blanket of winter snow. But one little leaf, afraid of the unknown, clings tightly to its twig, growing colder and lonelier with each passing day. Winter turns to spring, and the little leaf must make a choice: continue to hold on . . . or let go and embrace a new adventure. Lyrical, poignant, and beautifully illustrated, Once Upon a Tree, There Was a Change is a tender tale of courage, new beginnings, and the wonder of nature’s cycles.

Marcia Holm is a storyteller and nature lover. Her début children’s book, Once Upon a Tree, There Was a Change, draws inspiration from the shifting seasons and the parallel experience of raising four daughters—watching them grow, face challenges, ask questions, and embark on new adventures. Marcia enjoys spending time in nature, being with her children and grandchildren, attending church, and indulging in her love of knitting, crocheting, sewing, and reading. Raised on a family farm in southeast Saskatchewan, she now lives in Red Deer, Alberta, with her husband of forty-two years and their soft-coated Wheaten terrier, Shamie.
