Needles, the Forgotten Christmas Tree
Written by Richard Wagner, Illustrated by Sydni Kruger
The world is not always a perfect place. Needles, a scraggly little tree, must endure criticism, laughter, and setbacks to realize his goal of becoming a beautiful Christmas tree.
This story is about dreams, desires, hope, determination, and never giving up. It also shows that what others think is beautiful may not really matter. Beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder and paired with the spirit of Christmas, and maybe we can make the world just a little more perfect!
Review
The best way to describe this book is good things come to those that wait! Just because little Needles was not the biggest or the best Christmas tree, he never gave up hope that he would be taken home one day.
Several great lessons can also be drawn from this story: everyone faces rejection at some point in their lives, perseverance, just because someone thinks something is worthless, another person will see its worth, self-esteem, and getting into the holiday spirit by giving.
In addition to being beautifully drawn, Sydni Kruger’s illustrations add a sense of coziness to the story with a muted, warm watercolor feel.
