Deep in a snowy wood stands a little pine tree with a special destiny: when it grows up, it's going to be a fabulous Christmas tree! The tree travels far across the sea to shine in a city square. Crowds gather to admire it, children sing carols around it, and the tree brings joy and the spirit of the season to all who pass by.
Inspired by the annual journey of London's Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square, this story includes back matter detailing the tree's history as a gift to the United Kingdom from the people of Norway in remembrance of the UK's support during World War II – an enduring symbol of friendship and peace.
