A Special Christmas Tree Ed Finnerty

One tiny seed. One big idea. A gift for millions. The kids aren't impressed when their dad brings home the gift of a tiny seed. He says it will grow into a mighty tree-a tree with a special purpose. The kids keep wondering: how could one small thing become anything special? What is this mysterious "purpose" their dad keeps hinting at? After years of caring for the tree, the kids admit it is special to their family-but, just like Dad said, an even greater purpose awaits both the family and the tree. Inspired by the true story of the 2019 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, this story reminds children and families that each person is special and was beautifully created with a purpose to fulfill.
