About this title

Synopsis

For the smallest seedling on the tree farm, waiting and growing seem to take an eternity. As the seasons pass, the seedling observes the gifts that nature brings her - the sky, the wind, the birds and animals, and the sun and rain that help her grow. She dreams about the things she could become and gradually realizes that becoming a Christmas tree is only one of the many options life presents.

Review

This is a simple tale about the smallest seedling planted in a field of pine trees who yearns to grow tall enough to become a Christmas tree. Waiting to grow seems like an eternity to this eager little tree. As time passes and the seasons change, the seedling begins to observe the beauty of her forest world and the magical gifts that nature brings -- the sky, wind, sun and rain. She dreams of all the different things she could become when she grows tall -- a shelter for rabbits and squirrels, cozy winter nest for birds, even a window frame for a family's home. Gradually she comes to understand what her longing is really about: the joy of life is to be found anew in each and every day, in appreciating the ordinary moments and the wonders of nature that are often taken for granted. The Littlest Christmas Tree is a book for the entire family to read together, inspiring children impatient to be grown up, and to remind adults who may have forgotten childhood pleasures. The Littlest Christmas Tree provides a gentle, simple and compelling message which invites readers of all ages to pause and reflect on the beauty and promise of today, and to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow. Pam Kurtz's beautiful artwork perfectly complements Janie Jasin's imaginative and well crafted story. -- Midwest Book Review
