First published in 1991, “The Littlest Spruce” won ‘Best New Children’s Book’ at the North American Book Exchange. It was also featured on ABC’s Good Morning America. Former director of Good Morning America, Bob McKinnon, said, “I was always told that big things come in the littlest packages. After reading ‘The Littlest Spruce,’ I now know why. Succinct, clever writing and colorful illustrations make if a perfect package for the big and little alike.” Written in metered poetry, “The Littlest Spruce” is a feel-good story that doesn’t dwell on the commercialism of Christmas, instead, focuses on the importance of family values.
