Celebrate friendship, giving, and the true meaning of Christmas with Everett Green, the palm tree with plenty of personality!
The tiki torch is lit, the hula dancers are ready, the stage is set. It's...Christmastime in Hawaii! Everett Green is a singing, dancing palm tree waiting for his big break. He dreams of being a star, yet has no idea how to make it happen--until he sees the Rockefeller Tree on TV. Determined to become the most famous Christmas tree ever, Everett is ready to hightail it out of Hawaii and make his big debut in the Big Apple. But it's not all clear skies for Everett when a New York snowstorm grounds his flight. Stuck in the airport with hundreds of disgruntled travelers, Everett must dig deep for holiday spirit if he wants to become a real Christmas tree! From grammy-nominated songwriter Freddy Wexler comes a modern Christmas classic: the story of a would-be Christmas tree who comes to see that Christmas is not what or where you are, but who you're with.Author Biography
