Christmas Backlist


“Whatever will become of me?” sighed the sad and lonely little tree.

A single tree is left standing alone looking over the sea, on a cliff edge where a forest once grew. Native birds gather, promising to cheer her up—they will make her their Christmas tree! With decorations of clematis blossoms, a spider’s silvery threads, feathers, berries and shells, the tree stands glowing, a beautiful sight on a Christmas night.

Both narrative and illustrations zing with humour. Children will relish MacIver’s rhyming language and Davis’s detailed pictures.
