Christmas programs: One church featured this book for their Christmas program and handed out small starter pots containing a small Fir tree at the end of the program. It was been read to church youth groups as well as shared with the youngest children. Many churches have used this book for a Christmas presentation to their children and also to other children in a Christmas community outreach. Excellent Christmas reading. Helps children understand Christmas as the birthday of Jesus, a time to focus on what we can give HIM to celebrate HIS birthday.

This old legend, discovered in a monastery in Sicily, will touch the hearts of children, teenagers, and parents alike.
