About This Book

Wilma, an elderly neighbor, and young Parker work together season by season to plant and grow a field of Christmas trees. Over the years, they tend their seedlings through sun, rain, and snow, until the trees are finally tall enough to bring joy to families during the holidays.

Why We Love This

A patient, beautiful story about the rewards of long-term care and intergenerational friendship. It's a lovely way to help kids understand that good things take time.
