Wordless picture book Leaf by Stephen Micheal King

SYNOPSIS
A carefree boy is doing cartwheels when a grownup tries to cut his long hair. He runs off and hides in a bush with his dog. A passing bird drops a seed into the boy’s hair.
The seed sprouts, and the boy cares for the seedling, watering it and sheltering it when the sun is too hot. He dreams that it has all sorts of enemies.
Eventually his hair, along with the tiny plant, is cut off. But the boy continues to care for his plant and watches it grow. And one day a seed from the now magnificent tree is dropped by a bird onto his dog’s pup, where it too begins to sprout.

Notice the colours used. The palette used in the background is almost the same as used for the character. The boy becomes part of his surrounding.
And with his green shirt and brown pants on a white background, he looks like a tree.
