How to Decorate a Christmas Tree
Illustrated by Miki Sato
Published by Tundra Books
Ages 3-7
In this charming Christmas tale, a little girl shares the steps for the perfect tree trimming — a holiday picture book for fans of Pick a Pine Tree and The Little Christmas Tree.
How to Decorate a Christmas Tree is an ode to handmade ornaments, family heirlooms, meaningful souvenirs, popcorn garlands, and the cats who just want to be part of the fun. With stunning three-dimensional art by Miki Sato and a delightful story by wordsmith Vikki VanSickle, including a twist ending, this book will quickly become a Christmas tree decorating tradition of its own.
