(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Lisa Falkenstern. Although he's been told he's special, Treewing, an unsold Christmas tree, doesn't believe it. On Christmas Eve some homeless people decorate him, and his destiny shines through. As a result, a boy becomes more compassionate and gives his prized baseball to the grouchy tree-lot owner whose son died. Soft black-and-white chapter openers decorate this sentimental holiday tale.
