The Christmas Tugboat: How the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Came to New York City

48 pp. | Clarion | November, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-99215-7 $17.99
(2) K-3 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.
