Cole's narrator, the littlest evergreen, is dug out of the earth late one autumn by men searching for Christmas trees. A young family purchases it and, after Christmas, replants the small pine, which thrives. Through a clear, engaging text and lush yet lively illustrations, Cole celebrates embracing that which makes us unique in a narrative that also focuses on respecting nature.
