Descriere
A tender Christmas story with charming artwork by Emily Sutton, illustrator of Tiny.
A poignant, exquisitely illustrated Christmas story, with words by Delia Huddy and pictures by rising star Emily Sutton. When the ugly little fir tree is taken to the city, no one wants to buy him; they prefer the big tall trees. But a homeless boy asks the shopkeeper if he can take the tree, and down by the river in a cardboard box, decorated with a few candles, the tree finds itself at the centre of a magical Christmas Eve it will never forget. A Christmas tale with a classic feel but a modern theme at its heart.
Now in paperback, this contemporary story, with a strong message of tolerance and hope, is a classic in the making. ― The Bookseller
