ROCKY: The Rockefeller Christmas Tree

Can the smallest tree in the forest become the most famous Christmas tree in the world?

Rocky is a small, scraggly sapling with one enormous dream: to stand tall in New York City as the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. Everyone says he's too little. Everyone says it's impossible. Rocky keeps believing anyway.

With his friends Mary Louise, AJ, Mrs. Pickles, and Bruce Spruce beside him, Rocky sets out on a journey to the glittering streets of New York — and learns that faith, courage, and good friends can carry even the most unlikely dream all the way to the lighting of the tree.

A read-aloud Christmas story that families come back to every December.

A meaningful Christmas gift for grandchildren, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, preschool and kindergarten classrooms, and anyone who loves the magic of the Rockefeller tree.Also available in hardcover for gift-giving. From Jennie Nicassio, author of Ava Over the Rainbow.
