mysterious place, until a father and son purchase him and give
him new life as a Christmas tree.
OVERVIEW
The journey of Little Tree tells the true meaning of Christmas
as a message of salvation and new life that comes from God and
his son Jesus Christ.
TAKE AWAY VALUE
Little Tree Found gives parents and readers the opportunity to
explain salvation that comes from Jesus Christ to their children.
It's the best gift a parent can give at Christmas time.
FORMAT
Illustrated, hardcover, 24 pages, 1000 word story with an optional
1000 word adult-child interaction page.
UNIQUENESS
The final pages of Little Tree Found create an opportunity for
the adults to explain salvation to the children, using the Christmas
imagery from the story, so the children can pray to receive salvation.
The book tells, through a comprehensible
metaphor, that when we are born into the world, we begin to die,
but only through the price paid by Jesus Christ, do we live.
The book is written with an easy, poetic
rhyme that both the reader and listener will enjoy.
The illustrations in the book will engage
the readers, creating an artistic and Christmas-y feel to the
pages.
COMPETING PRODUCTS

but how many take the time to explain salvation to children and
offer the opportunity for them to receive Christ?

Children, ages 5-8.
Parents who love reading stories to their
children and want to explain salvation to them.
OTHER READERS
