Humphrey, a giant, and Leetree, an elf, are assigned to cultivate Christmastown's holiday tree. After a mishap results in the loss of their perfectly grown tree, Humphrey and Leetree create an even more beautiful one from wrapping paper and ribbon. Light's colorful illustrations in pen and ink and pastels do most of the storytelling with expressive characters and several wordless spreads.
