The christmas pine - julia donaldson

From the author of perennial #1 bestseller Room on the Broom , a new holiday tale celebrating hope, joy, and the spirit of Christmas.

Deep in a snowy wood stands a little pine tree with a special destiny: when it grows up, its going to be a fabulous Christmas tree! The tree travels far across the sea to shine in a city square.

Crowds gather to admire it, children sing carols around it, and the tree brings joy and the spirit of the season to all who pass by.

Inspired by the annual journey of Londons Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square, this story includes back matter detailing the trees history as a gift to the United Kingdom from the people of Norway in remembrance of the UKs support during World War II - an enduring symbol of friendship and peace.
