A cosy children's Christmas book written and illustrated by the inimitable Jane Chapman.
It's almost Christmas, and all the animals are out in the wood to pick the perfect tree.
"Ours is little, just like me!" beams Cubby. Carefully, she and Daddy dig up the tree, put it in a pot and take it home. Cubby quickly grows very attached to Little Tree. She sings it songs and reads it stories. And on Christmas Day there's one last present - a bright red ribbon to go round Little Tree's pot.
But when Christmas is over, and Little Tree has to go outside, Cubby is so sad! Luckily, Daddy has the perfect solution: Little Tree will live right outside in the garden until next winter, when the Christmas magic can start all over again.
This heartwarming festive story is tied up with a subtle environmental message! Just like The Christmas Pine by Julia Donaldson and Victoria Sandøy, The Christmas Eve Tree by Delia Huddy and Emily Sutton, and Dasher by Matt Tavares, The Littlest Christmas Tree is a true modern classic.
