Summary and how it can be used in the classroom: This book tells the story of a man who travels with the wind/ Fall has come, the wind is gusting, and Leaf Man is on the move. Is he drifting east, over the marsh and ducks and geese? Or is he heading west, above the orchards, prairie meadows, and spotted cows? No one's quite sure, but this much is certain: A Leaf Man's got to go where the wind blows. This book can be used for pleasure reading and to entertain.
