The Three Trees: A Traditional Folktale

by Elena Pasquali

Sophie Windham (Illustrator)

Featuring beautiful illustrations from Tim Jonke, The Tale of Three Trees is a bestselling classic children's book inspired by a traditional folktale that tells the story of Jesus's life from a new and unusual point of view.

That of three trees, who discuss what they want to become when they grow up. When they are felled, it seems as if all their dreams are over. But their wishes come true in a way they never expected, each tree is destined to play an important part in key events of Jesus's life.

A moving folktale about Jesus's life for children, The Tale of Three Trees can also be shared out loud with the whole family. Perfect for Easter, Christmas, and a baby dedication gift. Both children and adults will be deeply touched by the beautiful message of the book, that even when life doesn't seem to be going our way, God has a plan for us and works for His good through all things.

What a delightful way to sum up Christ's journey on earth from birth to miracles and on to the world's salvation. With vivid and artistic ilustrations my daughters could spend hours looking at these images over tge years.

Tonight we read this book again to go along with our Forest for the Trees unit study. Tomorrow we're going to watch a movie (based I think on the Angela Hunt version). I still think this is a touching story about three trees and they came to be of very important use during the life of Jesus Christ.
