Thaddeus the pine tree has proclaimed himself the finest tree in the forest and is lavishly decorated in the town square for Christmas. Only when a barefoot little boy named Leo approaches does he begin to understand the secret to true beauty. Melody Carlson weaves a poetic tale with an ageless message of inspiration both adults and children will appreciate year after year. Colorful, vivid illustrations by Donna Race transform Thaddeus from a prideful pine to a humble, giving symbol of the season.
