Great review. This story sounds awesome for all age groups. I believe we should not starve the child in us - reading children's books is a great way to keep imagination alive.

I don't really like children books... sure I act like a kid and all but really nope... children books nada. I like the Rick Roirdan Percy Jackson series though... but that's targeted for older kids?

Rocky by Jennie E Nicassio is an awesome children's bookthan help children be imaginative. The use of color, images over texts and a few pages captures a readers mind making it more interesting. The moral lesson of believing in your self where others see impossibility is a mere encouragement to children..

Once in a while I try to engage myself with children's books. This one seems adorable and job well done on the review.

An interesting departure from the numerous run of the mill children's (even though this book was clearly not labelled as one) story books which abound everywhere.

And a great review as well.

A book that teaches children to work hard and believe in themselves, sounds great! Thanks for the review.

What a heartwarming and empowering book! It is a very vital lesson to learn - because you are being bullied, it doesn't mean that you will respond in kind. Respond with kindness or just ignore Them All together and stay confident and Believe In your dreams.

I love the ant-bullying stance and the theme of never give up on your dreams. The book is perfect for holyday, for children.

Great review! The moral of the story sounds great and I love the spin on the main character being a Christmas tree; and a small Charlie Brown one at that! My daughter would love this book.

This book made me smile because I always loved the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. The themes of hard work and overcoming obstacles can be applied to all aspects of a child's life. I like that the book includes an illustration on every page in order for the child to grasp the story line.
