Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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, it's 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 London's Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square, this story includes back matter detailing the tree's history as a gift to the United Kingdom from the people of Norway in remembrance of the UK's support during World War II - an enduring symbol of friendship and peace.
"First published in the UK in 2021 by Alison Green Books, an imprint of Scholastic Ltd."
"The Christmas Pine was originally commissioned by The Poetry Society."
Told in rhyming text, a majestic pine journeys from Norway to become London's Christmas tree. Includes a historical note explaining the annual tradition.
