Book Synopsis
The Lonely Christmas Tree is
born with a purpose to be cherished by someone at Christmas. When the tree is
the last one remaining in the lot, the tree starts to believe that all hope is
lost. A bright light comes along restoring faith in dreams and
encourages the spirit to persevere. The tree is small and limp but has the
spirit to find love and acceptance. This story demonstrates that all of us have
that spark within us to find what we long for. Persistence and fortitude can
lead us out of despair to the light that shines for all of us.
My Review
My Review
The Lonely Christmas Tree is a heart warming book to enjoy during the Christmas season. I really admire how the author created
a lovely story, but also included an important lesson for children. Do not judge someone or something by their appearance. The lonely Christmas tree wanted
someone to share his Christmas cheer with, but instead he was quickly passed by and left alone. He realized his branches weren't as full or green as the other trees, and he didn't stand as tall. He wanted someone to stop and see that inside he had much joy to give a family. The story has a beautiful
ending. I also liked the colorful illustrations that truly reflected a wintery
feel.
