Deep in a forest that sparkles with snow, Is a magical place where Christmas trees grow. Little Spruce has a BIG dream.

A tiny tree’s BIG Christmas adventure! Little Spruce is a magical, inclusive picture book about a tiny tree who dreams of being chosen as a Christmas tree. One day a family does just that, but after Christmas Little Spruce is mistakenly taken away with the rubbish. Will Little Spruce be able to escape the woodchipper and get home to his family? And what place is there for a Christmas tree once the tinsel comes down anyway?
