Description
The miles cannot keep a determined bird from his loved one in this Christmas ode to serendipity and hope. Red and Lulu make their nest in a beautiful evergreen tree. It shades them in the hot months and keeps them cosy in the cold and, once a year, the people who live nearby string lights on their tree and sing a special song: O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree.
But one day, something unthinkable happens, and Red and Lulu are separated. It will take a miracle for them to find each another again. Luckily, it’s just the season for miracles…
From Matt Tavares comes a heart-tugging story combining all the cheer of Christmas, all the magic of New York City, and the real meaning of the festive season: how important it is to be surrounded by love.
Laura Tapper –
This is a charming story, simply told, amidst the outstanding artwork, which is an integral part of the narrative. Just as important is the factual information on the last page, about the history of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. This elevates the book and sets it in a context, widening children’s interest in civic Christmas trees, their value and purpose. An asset to any family or school bookshelf.
