The Tree of Hope was inspired by a simple act of wanting to bring hopeand joy to a community. Each year at Christmas time a small tree wrapped in a simple strand of red lights with a star on the top appears as if by magic in an open field on a busy country road.So beloved is the little tree that the whole community watches for itto come into view as they pass by on their daily comings and goings.Great joy, comfort and hope fill the hearts of all who spot the tinytree, bringing lasting feelings of the best that the Christmas season has to offer.This book is dedicated to the Frich Family Farmand to John and Joanne Pavalonis.And to Yencsik’s Store and Andy and Helen Yencsik.This is a SeeSayCreate book that combines literature and art activitiesfor a whole minded learning experience.
