The Pine Tree Parable- a Classic Christmas Story *Winner Announced*

December 9, 2011 by Molly

Pine Tree Parable – showing children what it means to “love your neighbor as yourself”
*ages 1-5

*A classic Christmas story in the popular sturdy, oversized board book format
* Gold Medallion Book Award Winner & part of the best-selling Parable Series with over 1.4 million copies sold
*Great selection to celebrate the Christmas season


There were tears in my eyes the first time I read this book to my kids. It’s such a sweet Christmas story about love and sacrifice even when it’s not always the easy choice to make. It’s beautifully illustrated with bright and colorful pictures that my son loves. My three year old even understood the concept of giving unto others, and loving your neighbor. When we were finished reading, he wanted to make something for his brothers and sister, “because I love them!” he said. 
So, we made Christmas trees that he painted, and hung them on the doors of their bedrooms as a surprise for when they got home from school. 

What are you doing this Christmas to reach out to others? Do you bake cookies for elderly or sing carols to neighbors?
Since you have had kids, what are some of your favorite Christmas memories?
Leave me a comment and let me know, and you could win your own copy of this lovely book.

You can enjoy a preview of Pine Tree Parable HERE.
This book is also available for purchase on Amazon.

    we usually adopt an angel and let the kids help pick presents. and of course we take presents to all the neighbors. we're working on figuring out more traditions that involve service.

    Thanks for stopping by 52 Mantels and leaving me a sweet comment! I love your blog! I'm the mother to a 10 month old, but I look forward to future Christmases when we can get deeper into the true meaning.
