How To Decorate A Christmas Tree
Ages 3-7
My favourite part of Christmas is decorating the tree. Each ornament represents a person, a place, or a memory that is special to me. 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. Miki Sato’s cut paper collage art brought me to tears and completely elevated this cozy little story. I hope you love it as much as I do!
