Book Synopsis
The Lonely Christmas Tree is
born with a purpose to be cherished by someone at Christmas. When the tree is
the last one remaining in the lot, the tree starts to believe that all hope is
lost. A bright light comes along restoring faith in dreams and
encourages the spirit to persevere. The tree is small and limp but has the
spirit to find love and acceptance. This story demonstrates that all of us have
that spark within us to find what we long for. Persistence and fortitude can
lead us out of despair to the light that shines for all of us.

My Review
The Lonely Christmas Tree is an adorable story about a tree that wants so badly to become a family’s Christmas tree. The poor little tree doesn’t realize that he’s not quite what the ‘ideal’ Christmas tree looks like. He watches all the other trees get chosen and taken to homes for the special holiday until he’s the only one left.
I read this story to Middle A, who is 2 years old. She loved it so much we had to read it again immediately. It’s such a wonderful and touching story to share with your children. There are quite a few lessons that can be learned from this little tree. This will definitely be one to read every year at Christmas time!
