Illustrated by
James E. Ransome.
A young girl narrates this account (based on a true story) of the long-ago year she helped her tugboat captain father deliver the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. The tugboat's journey--up the Hudson River to pick up the barge with the tree and downriver again--is described in child-friendly detail. Jewel-toned paintings capture views of the city, the river, and the unusual, festive cargo.
