Trying to help a friend and I have hit a wall. None of the obvious choices are correct so far.
"It was a beautifully illustrated book about a boy who finds a magic leaf (or he is given a leaf). I remember one part specifically where the leaf turns his sandcastle picnic in to real food. I also remember something happening with bubbles but I’m not sure what.
The boy tries to show his siblings but they are busy and don’t listen to him/believe him. At the very end, he tells his grandmother who finally listens to him and believes him.
I’m pretty sure the word leaf was in the title. I’ve tried searching: magic leaf, golden leaf, wishing leaf but I haven’t had any luck so far.
Anyone have any idea what book this is? I remember reading it in the late 90s early 00s but I’m not sure how old the book is."
