The Christmas Tree Who Loved Trains

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Paola Zakimi. A pine tree loves to watch trains. When a boy and his dad dig her up to take home, she misses the trains. Then she wakes on Christmas morning encircled by the tracks of a toy train. When Christmas is over, the family replants her on their farm near train tracks. The story is sweet without being saccharine; illustrations in soft greens and bright reds are homey and warm.
