Synopsis "The Leaf Men: And the Brave Good Bugs (The World of William Joyce) "

The Leaf Men must find a way to save a glorious but endangered garden and the kindly old woman who tends to it in this classic picture book that inspired the movie, Epic. This charming picture book is full of ancient elfin magic, epic adventure, and the biggest of hearts. For when an evil spider queen tries to destroy a kindly old lady's lush garden, the brave good bugs know they need help to drive a spider away. And they know who will help--the Leaf Men. But will the Leaf Men also be able to rescue the Long Lost Toy, the key to reviving the old woman, who has now fallen ill? A bugle salute to the power of memory, loyalty, and love as resounding as Robin Hood's call to his Merry Men.

Among his illustrated albums are bestsellers such as: George Shrinks, Santa Calls, Dinosaur Bob and his Adventures with the Family Lazardo, The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, A Day with Wilbur Robinson, Bently & Egg, and the Rolie Polie Olie series, which became a popular children's TV show that earned him no less than three Emmy Awards

However, Joyce is not just a recognized figure in the world of children's cinema and literature. His illustrations have frequently graced the cover of The New York Times, and his paintings are displayed in museums and art galleries across the United States. Hailed by Newsweek magazine as one of the hundred people to watch in the new millennium, his striking and unique stories and illustrations transport us to worlds full of fun, adventure, and fantasy

Moreover, William Joyce has lent his creative talent to several films, creating characters as famous as those in Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Robots. In 2012 Joyce won an Oscar for the animated short film The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, and has ventured into the digital interactive realm with the spectacular app based on this short film
