La pequeña hoja de arce que quería volar no es solo una historia sobre la naturaleza—es una meditación profunda sobre el hogar, la comunidad y el sentido de pertenencia.

A lo largo de ríos, montañas, praderas y ciudades, una hoja roja de arce se desliza con el viento, en busca de algo más grande que un lugar donde caer: un lugar donde pertenecer. En cada página, descubre que el verdadero hogar no siempre es un sitio físico, sino los corazones que nos reciben, las voces que nos llaman por nuestro nombre, y las manos que nos levantan cuando el mundo parece muy grande.

Con ilustraciones tiernas y luminosas que celebran la belleza de Canadá en todas sus estaciones, y un texto poético que conmueve el alma, este libro es un homenaje a la resiliencia, a la esperanza, y a la manera en que el amor se teje en la vida cotidiana—ya sea en una taza de chocolate caliente compartida en invierno o en el silencio sagrado de una aurora boreal.

Perfecto para leer en voz alta a un niño o para reflexionar en soledad, La pequeña hoja de arce que quería volar es un recordatorio eterno: no importa dónde caigas, si llevas luz contigo, siempre encontrarás el camino de regreso a casa.

In every season, in every corner of the land, we search for one thing: belonging.

This book tells the unforgettable journey of a single red maple leaf as it drifts across rivers, mountains, prairies, and cities—through laughter and music, through silence and snowfall. With each turn of the page, the leaf discovers that belonging is not just found in a place, but in the hearts and voices that surround us. From children’s laughter in village streets to elders’ wisdom beside quiet fires, from the power of drumbeats to the hush of northern lights, the leaf learns that we are never alone.

Tender, luminous illustrations capture Canada’s beauty in all its seasons, while poetic storytelling stirs both heart and memory. More than a tale of nature, this book is a meditation on community, resilience, and love.

Whether read aloud to a child or cherished quietly by an adult, this is a story for anyone who has ever wondered where they fit, or feared they did not. It reminds us that belonging is not about where we land, but about every hand that lifts us, every voice that welcomes us, and every light we share together.

A timeless celebration of connection, hope, and home.

Tabby is a spicy ginger tabby who thinks he has life all figured out in Pennsylvania. He loves warm windowsills, safe streets, and curling up with his missionary family after ordinary days. Then Mom and Dad announce a surprise: God is calling them to Guatemala, to a town called Antigua.
