The Great Spruce

40 pp. | Putnam | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-16084-4 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rebecca Gibbon. Every Christmas, Alec and his grandpa decorate the great, tall spruce his grandpa transplanted to the family's land. When men from the city arrive to cut it down for the town's annual celebration, Alec convinces them to borrow the tree instead. Cozy acrylic-ink and colored-pencil art accentuates the tree's grandeur in both its idyllic country home and its big-city home-away.
