A touching and alternative telling of the story of Easter. Each of the trees has a dream of what they want to become and although they aren't used in the way they had initially hoped for their ultimate purpose fulfills their desire. The story is humbling and heartfelt while teaching a Christian moral that God will guide you and be there for you in your life. A great book for a christian child or to understand Christian morals and principles. I remember a Sunday School teacher reading this aloud to me and then as a teenager I used this as a read-aloud during Children's Sunday. ( )

I had heard this story on the radio, I think, and it was a sweet story but nothing really more I don't think. My Mom had seen this book in a Catholic Church Goods Store in Groton, CT and read it, then asked me if I had ever heard the story. I told her I had and then asked to read the book. At the end of the book -- which is a short children's board book -- I was near tears and couldn't hardly speak. I had to have this book, I couldn't let it go. I absolutely love this simply little story. Love, love, love, love, love. It's good for Christmas ... Ordinary Time ... and Easter. Love, love, love, love, love! ( )
