Illustrated by
Pascal Campion.
One Christmas tree doesn't have the physical allure of its neighbors, and its unbridled enthusiasm isn't enough to catch the attention of shoppers. Then comes a faint jingling sound...and the little tree finds a home way up north. Campion's bright digital illustrations imbue the skimpy tree with personality, while stark scenes of its isolation elicit empathy. A satisfying, hopeful holiday offering.
