Chita's Christmas Tree [Paperback]

Elizabeth Fitzgerald Howard (Author), Floyd Cooper (Illustrator)

Book Description

Christmas is coming! And all Chita can dream about is choosing her very own Christmas tree.

"Mama!" Chita calls. "Mama! Is today the day?"

"Yes," says Mama. "Papa is almost ready."

And so Chita and her father set out into the deep, snowy woods to find Chita's very own Christmas tree. And when Christmas morning comes, Chita has many surprises, but none as beautiful as her tree -- with its full and graceful branches and her name carved in its trunk.

About the Author

Elizabeth Fitzgerald Howard's grandfather was Cornelius "C.C." Fitzgerald. His brother Will told stories about their childhood to his daughter Jessie, who passed them along to the author. Inspired by these stories, Elizabeth visited Jonesborough, Tennessee, a town seven miles from where her grandfather grew up. There she learned about a school started by Quakers called the Warner Institute and wrote this story. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
