FROM SARAH:

David Rubel, a historian, researched the origins of the Rockefeller Christmas tree and crafted this beautiful story as an “origin myth” — a fictional tale that aligns with known facts, but fills in emotional and imaginative gaps with a heart-felt story. The illustrations are magnificent, perfect for lingering over with a cup of cocoa.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

This modern classic Christmas story teaches children the spirit of the season by bringing together two great New York City traditions: the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and the neighbor-helping-neighbor program of Habitat for Humanity.
