This review is from: A Tree for Christmas (Hardcover)

We love Christmas books and religious overtones or undertones are always great when done well. This book is very basic writing and very quickly read (which can be nice), pictures are avg. to above avg. - this isn't in the Baboushka or Great Joy realm.

This book moved me to tears as it talked about the tree for Christmas for Jesus through the different phases of His life. This book will be a gift for all the kids on my list next Christmas!
