Christmas Pine

Christmas Pine by Julia Donaldson  
 
From the beloved author of The Gruffalo comes this magical and heartfelt Christmas story inspired by a true tradition. Every year, a special pine tree is sent from Norway to London as a gift of friendship and thanks. This is the story of that tree, from its small beginnings to becoming the sparkling centrepiece of a city's Christmas celebration. With Julia Donaldson's lyrical, rhyming text and Victoria Sandøy’s beautiful illustrations, this book is a wonderful tribute to peace, community, and the true meaning of Christmas. It’s a perfect read-aloud for a family to share.
