Needles, the Forgotten Christmas Tree is a cute children’s Christmas book. The story was written beautifully and the underlying theme of perseverance and patient does pay off if you keep a positive and optimistic outlook and attitude. I read it to my littles as a bedtime story and they enjoyed it. The illustrations are bright and vibrant with colors and kept their attention during the entire story. It also made them think about when they want to give up, to keep a positive attitude and things could change for the better. Perfect to add to a child’s list to read around Christmas or anytime they need a boost of confidence.
