A touching and joyful Christmas classic about courage and family, illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Barbara Cooney. In the mountains of Appalachia during World War I, Ruthie and her mother prepare to bring the town’s Christmas tree to life, while Ruthie’s father is away at war. Together the two celebrate the strength of family, the warmth of community, and the deeper meaning of Christmas. Perfect for holiday storytime, gift-giving, or family reading traditions, this cherished picture book reminds readers—young and old alike—that the greatest gifts come from the heart.
