Description

A gorgeous gift book to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas - a perfect gift for any Christmas stocking. A lonely tree stands on the cold, frosted hillside gazing at the other trees sparkling in the village below. How it longs to be with them! Then suddenly out reaches a warm friendly hand, and with a wobble and a shake, a very jolly fellow takes the tree on a journey to a new place ... where the tree will feel that it belongs once more, surrounded by old friends and new. A beautiful Christmas gift inspired by the Christmas poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. With an uplifting message about overcoming loneliness and celebrating being together.

A gorgeous gift book about a solitary tree, standing on a cold hillside looking down on trees in the valley below and wishing he could be with them. A beautiful book with an uplifting message about overcoming loneliness * Irish Independent * This pocket-sized book tells the story of the last pine tree on the mountainside, alone and cold, until a large man in a red coat collects it, dresses it with lights and a star and transforms it into a Christmas tree admired by everyone who sees it * Daily Mail * A book that delights with its sheer unconquerable vivacity. Chris Naylor-Ballesteros is an illustrator to watch * Books For Keeps on I LOVE YOU, STICK INSECT * A hilarious, stylish buffet of a picture book! * Guardian on I'M GOING TO EAT THIS ANT * A picture book debut full of charm and style * The Bookseller on I'M GOING TO EAT THIS ANT *
