The Little Fir Tree

A classic tale with a noteworthy message and lovely illustrations.

Focus on and appreciate what you have, instead of longing for things others have - this is the key to happiness. It's never too early to have a chat about this with your kid.
My daughter liked the trees and I find the animals and mushrooms in the forest very cute and unique.

The moral of not wishing your life away, and the cyclical side of nature, are both well conveyed in this brightly colourful picture book. Just a short paragraph or three per page get the story across, but look for the necessary detail in the dynamic artwork too – the beat where new growth is given the chance is only in the background. It might be a book that introduces the idea of forestry and wildlife husbandry to the very young, too. A success.

This was a lovely book and I really enjoyed reading it!
The illustrations are full of bright colors. The story itself is about a little tree who wants to grow up and see the world like the other bigger trees. There's a nice message about enjoying the time we have and making the most out of each moment, before growing up. It's also a very nice read for the winter and the holidays <3

A really lovely story about not wanting to grow up too fast and appreciating the things we have.

Ideal for those children who want childhood to be over too quickly.
