Description
In a forest where every tree did its best to be the most beautiful and the most perfect to be chosen for the Queen's Christmas tree, Small Pine chose to be kind. Small Pine used its branches to shelter baby rabbits, provide rest to exhausted birds, and feed hungry deer, but this made it bent and disheveled. Small Pine despaired of ever being chosen as the Christmas tree for the Queen, but in the end, it learned that those who care for others are the most beautiful of all. ~Rachel E.
Publisher's Description of Why Christmas Trees Aren't Perfect
Long, long ago, in a land far away, lived a perfect little tree named Small Pine. Small Pine hoped to maintain its perfect form and be selected by the Queen as her Christmas tree. But as the warm-hearted little tree gave shelter to birds, rabbits, and deer in the forest, its branches became damaged. Fortunately, the Queen had a different idea of perfection...
Young readers will want to read and reread the story of how Small Pine's love and charity for its friends helps make it the most "perfect" Christmas Tree of all.
This magnificently illustrated story of a warm-hearted Christmas tree will surely become one of the most beloved classics of future generations. Schneider's storytelling will enthrall children and adults alike.
