The First Christmas Tree
Description
Word spreads among the animals and the trees that The Promised One is to be born, and everyone gathers only the finest gifts in tribute.
Yet what can Little Fir Tree's empty branches possibly offer that would be worthy of God's Son? Plenty, it turns out, and an angel rewards Little Fir's kind heart with a cascade of glittering stars. Behold, the first Christmas tree.
The Little Drummer Boy meets Christmas' Most Recognizable Symbol. The First Christmas Tree is a heartwarming story that bridges traditional Christian values with universal Christmas appeal-all gorgeously illustrated in a package that has the feel of a new classic
