In this die-cut oversized board book shaped like a Christmas tree, bestselling author Dr. Mary Manz Simon tells the story of Jesus's birth through decorations we place on an evergreen each year, helping little ones better understand and remember the reason we place ornaments and lights on the tree and what each symbol means.
