Official synopsis Publisher
Three forest trees dream of what they will one day become. One dreams of becoming a royal throne; one of being a ship that can withstand any storm; and one longs to stay in the forest and grow as tall as tall can be. When they are felled, it seems their dreams are over. But as each tree is crafted into a new item – a manger, a fishing boat, and a rugged cross – it becomes clear that through the role they play in one important life their hopes are more than fulfilled. This traditional folktale is accompanied by stylish artwork from a highly sought-after children’s book illustrator, and will help set the Christmas and Easter stories into the overall context of the Christian faith.
