The Little Christmas Tree
Andrea Skevington, Lorna Hussey
Paperback
(Lion, Sept. 1, 2002)
"Deep in the forest, one dark night, it was so cold that the stars were shivering in the sky " A dark storm is brewing, and the woodland creatures sense danger. The grand, proud trees—the oak, sycamore, and birch—are determined to fight the storm. But the humble little fir tree knows that it is more important to shelter the frightened birds and animals. When the storm wreaks destruction, she alone is unharmed. And far away, that very night, a baby is born in a manger. The angels who herald the baby’s birth scatter shimmering stars as they pass over the forest. On which tree do the stars rest? The little fir tree, the one who had shown love.
