In today's BRIGHT assembly, we read 'Leaf', the story of a polar bear who arrives unexpectedly in the woods. The other animals fear this unknown creature and avoid him and his habit of collecting leaves. All 'Leaf' wants to do is go home to his family. The story follows 'Leaf' on his journey of hope to get back home. Slowly the other animals overcome their fear of 'Leaf' and help him find his way.
