The Christmas Tree who Loved Trains
A sweet story about a pine tree and its life on a tree farm. The tree loved hearing the trains go by; they were her company along with the birds and squirrels on the farm. Until one day a family takes the tree to their home and the tree meets a little boy who also loves trains.
