Sprucey The Blue Christmas Tree

THE LAST CHRISTMAS TREE, a children''s Christmas book, is the story of a young Blue Spruce tree that was born in the Great Forest in the mountains near the shores of the Great Lake. Sprucey had many friends in the Great Forest who taught him many things about the outside world. One day Sprucey was told the story of the Christmas Tree, and how it is used to celebrate the birth of the Son of the Creator of All Living Things. From that day forward Sprucey decided that, when he grew up, he wanted to be a Christmas Tree. One day in early December, Sprucey and his Mother are loaded on a truck to begin their journey to The Great City. There they are put on display in a city lot to be sold as Christmas trees. On Christmas Eve all the trees have been sold except Sprucey who is too small to be chosen. Fortunately, Sprucey gets his opportunity to become a Christmas tree when a small boy and his mother visit the lot at the close of the day. This book is filled with colorful illustrations reflecting life in the forest, the animals that make the forest their home, city street views, and many others that will interest your child. Like the Christmas classic, THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL, this story will touch the heart of the reader. The kindness and compassion of the owner of the Christmas tree lot and the joy that Sprucey feels for the happiness that he brings to a small boy and his mother on Christmas Eve, provides an insight into the true meaning of Christmas and the Christmas Spirit.
