A lonely little fir tree, standing by itself at the edge of the forest, has its life transformed when a father takes it home to serve as a living Christmas tree for his bedridden son.
Four children who cannot fall asleep Christmas eve creep downstairs to see the tree, their stockings, and their wrapped gifts, and to hear the Christmas carolers.
From the author of "Good Night Moon" comes a beautiful version of the Christmas story. Margaret Wise Brown's inspiring words are brought to life by Phyllis Harris's charming illustrations.
