In a quiet corner of a tree farm, a pine tree adores the trains that rush by. Her branches dance with each passing locomotive. But when a boy selects her as his Christmas tree, she's taken far from the tracks she loves. Will she find joy in her new home, or will the absence of trains leave her longing? This heartwarming tale explores the bonds between nature and human, perfect for those who cherish stories like The Giving Tree.
From the publisher
A poignant Christmas tale about a tree who loved trains, and a little boy who loved them, too. A pine tree grew in the farthest corner of the tree farm on a small patch of land that bordered the train track. The tree loved trains. She loved to watch them ZOOM by on the tracks beside the tree farm. Her branches would ripple in the wind as the trains roared past. But one morning, when a little boy picks her to be his Christmas tree, she is uprooted and brought to a home far from the ZOOMING trains she loves…Beautiful art from Paola Zakimi brings to life this lovely Christmastime tale from Annie Silvestro, perfect for readers who love The Giving Tree and The Velveteen Rabbit.
