“A sweet story of two birds that find there way to each other when life changes happen and the tree they live in becomes the Rockefeller Christmas tree! Fun that the book has a little extra information about the Rockefeller Center, too.”

“This was a super cute book, and an approachable way to learn about the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Maybe not one you could read hundreds of times, but beautifully told and exquisitely rendered.”
