About the Book

Bright Little Leaf is a poem about an autumn leaf not content with her lot in life. She has literally "soaring" aspirations and a definite itinerary. Her ultimate fate however, is not quite what she envisions.

Bright Little Leaf's full color illustrations are appealing, vivid and very imaginative. It is a delightfully engaging and informative book for young readers and those young at heart.

Some who grew up with "the tube," having had virtually everything spelled out in black and white and later in color, and being left with less and less to imagine lapsed into jaded and desensitized perspectives; their awesome power of imagination having been stunted or withered by lack of challenge and stimulation. They know that leaves don't sing - leaves only rustle, and winds don't talk - winds just whine, whistle or howl. Ah! But hope springs eternal! Let young children in wonderment, shut their eyes for a brief moment and ask them to listen; they will hear a small autumn leaf "sing" and a frisky fall wind gallantly "speak" to her plea!

The magic lives on!

About the Author

Mr. Harvey grew up in the Washington Heights section of upper Manhattan in New York City, and attended P.S. 115, P.S. 132, J.H.S. 115, and George Washington High School. He lived with his parents, Harry S., and Helen E., and younger brother Paul J. in a five-story rental apartment building on the south side of 179th Street, between Amsterdam and Audubon Avenues, about 6 blocks from the George Washington Bridge.

He holds "retired" status membership in the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, and was employed for 35 years in the medical diagnostics and research applications of x-rays, as well as the commercial aspects of what he considered a never dull, challenging and rapidly evolving field of endeavor.

He continues to write and expects to publish a chapbook of his poems in 2005.
