Page 3: She wrote "thank you" on a leaf for the sun that warmed her nest.
Page 4: She hung the leaf on a branch, and it fluttered like a flag.
Page 5: Next, she wrote "thank you" for the rain that watered the grass.
Page 6: Soon, her friends brought leaves of their own, full of thank-yous.
Page 7: Thank you for worms! Thank you for songs! Thank you for shade!
Page 8: The tree was covered in fluttering, golden, thank-you leaves.
Page 9: A soft wind blew, and the leaves sang a rustly, happy song.
