Description
The miles cannot keep a determined bird from his loved one in this Christmas ode to serendipity and hope.
Red and Lulu make their nest in a beautiful evergreen tree. It shades them in the hot months and keeps them cosy in the cold. Once a year, the people who live nearby string lights on their tree and sing a special song: O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree.
But one day, something unthinkable happens, and Red and Lulu are separated. It will take a miracle for them to find each other again. Luckily, it’s just the season for miracles...
From Matt Tavares comes a heart-tugging story combining all the cheer of Christmas, all the magic of New York City, and the real meaning of the festive season: how important it is to be surrounded by love.
