Deep in a snowy northern forest lives Edgar, a little evergreen tree with an enormous dream: to become someone's Christmas tree and share the joy of the season with a family. Though he's smaller than the other trees, Edgar practices standing tall and growing his branches, hoping that someday he will be chosen.
When Edgar is finally selected and sent to the Johnson Family Christmas Tree Lot, his excitement knows no bounds! But as the days pass and larger, fuller trees are chosen, Edgar begins to worry. With his broken branch and smaller size, will anyone want him?
On Christmas Eve, when Edgar is the last tree left on the lot, a struggling family discovers him. To them, he isn't too small or imperfect -- he's absolutely perfect. Sometimes the most beautiful wishes come true in the most unexpected ways, and sometimes being different is exactly what makes you special.
"Edgar's Christmas Wish" is a tender story about patience, hope, and the magic of finding exactly where you belong. Perfect for families who believe that Christmas is about love, not perfection, this heartwarming tale reminds us that everyone has something wonderful to offer the world.
A book to read year after year.
