As a former Ohio resident who has lived in Florida for 30 years, I, as all my neighbors, love Christmas, even without the snow. This book is an extension of that love, and everything that is good about Christmas; emotion, caring and love for others.
The illustrations are beautiful, but the message is just as important. I read it to my grandchildren and they almost cried, until the end, when they yelled with delight at the perfectly complete and timed ending. This book is now a holiday ritual for our family. I recommend this book to all who love the spirit of Christmas, regardless of religion.

This is a great book! I am a 3rd grade teacher and love to collect Children’s books! This was definitely worth getting!!! It has such a good moral and is a great price!

If one wishes to learn the meaning of life, goodness, and generosity to others, you must read this book! Being from Michigan, and now living in the desert, I can bring the cold and snow into our home to my two young children.
The story tells of a sad tree who so wishes to be a Christmas tree and how his dear friends help him feel proud and special by a simple act of kindness.
You will read this book year-round and it will become a favorite Christmas story as it is in our home.

Cute story, beautiful pictures
Great story with beautiful pictures. The only downside is that I bought it for my 18 month old and the storyline is a bit complicated for her.

Disappointing
Considering the high marks this book got I was very disapointed when I received the book. The rhyming is forced and wordy.

Long drawn out story, pretty pictures
I bought this story for my 2 year old, but it is really for older kids. The story is long, and a lot to read through.

My daughter brought this book home from her school library and both my husband and I were touched by this book so much that we ordered a copy for our family.

Consider age of child
I loved this book but from the cover art to the copy there is a tone of sadness. I bought it for a niece who is particulalry sensitive and it bothered her from the beginning…
