5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've ever read!, December 27, 2001

A Kid's Review

I am 6 years old and my mom read this book to me tonight. This book is not scary. It's good because it teaches you about the love of Jesus Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Christmas Tradition in Our House!, December 14, 1999

By	Brenda (Texas) - See all my reviews

We ALL love this book! The illustrations are beautiful, and the message compelling! It's about a tree that sacrifices its beautiful shape and potential reward to help animals, but the parallel for us is obvious. As the last page says,"living for the sake of others makes us most beautiful in the eyes of God." I HIGHLY recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Holiday Must for All Children, January 4, 2000

By	Joan Seigle (Peapack, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This poignant tale of a generous little tree who gives wholly of himself to those around him reminds us all of the true message of Christmas and the sacrifice that each parent makes for his child. It's a moving legend for all ages and a wonderful gift for loved ones.
