The Tree-Within-the-Tree
In this book, you will meet a tree that longs to be a Christmas tree, but doesn't look the part, and fears he will never be chosen. He lingers on a rubbish pile until two children come onto a lot and find him. With their two dollars they purchase the tree and bring him home to their enthusiastic mother and siblings. Through the eyes of this appreciative family, the tree becomes a full-fledged, full-scented, magnificent Christmas tree. It is a wonderful Christmas after all, but most especially for the tree. Appreciation makes it so!

About the author
Sally Huss
175 books64 followersFor years I have wanted to do what I am doing now -- writing and illustrating my children's books. Electronic drawing pads and e-books have made it possible for me to create and publish my own books -- and do so in quantity. In the past, Harcourt Brace, Ten Speed Press, Thomas Nelson had only published a few.
The books were always squeezed in between art I needed to do to fill 26 Sally Huss Galleries (my degree was from USC in Fine Art); and licensing demands for clothing, greeting cards (American Greetings), purses, bibs, dinnerware, wallpaper; and the daily King Features Syndicated inspirational panel I do for newspapers called Happy Musings.
Through the years my art and writings have found their way into homes from Hollywood to The White House and perhaps even your house or your mother's.
Along with art, I have had a long history with tennis. In fact I was raised to be a champion (U.S. Junior and Wimbledon Champion, then a semi-finalist in the women's division at Wimbledonin singles and doubles). Later I became one of the top senior players in the country. This experience lead to my writing and illustrating a couple of books on the game -- EIGHT GOLDEN RULES FOR HOW TO PLAY YOUR BEST TENNIS (endorsed by Billie Jean King, Mary Carrillo, Dick Enberg, etc.) and LOVE LADIES LEAGUE TENNIS.
I mostly read the books of the French Philosopher Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. For me, these present the clearest and most practical explanation of life and man's structure in it that I've come across. These light-filled pages send my heart soaring and give me food for my present work.
Presently I write, illustrate and paint in my Solana Beach, California studio where I live with my husband Marv. I also still play a bit of tennis and walk the beach daily.

What a wonderful book about “beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.”
The children buy a misfit tree but all they see is the beauty – as does the misfit tree in it’s surroundings.
At the children and mother decorate with simple items – tin foil balls soon look like silver balls, hair ribbons look like doves, and the popcorn garland looks like pearls – so in the end there is a beautiful tree.

This is a fun story for kids that also teaches a valuable lesson. Sometimes it is hard to want more than we need and this books shows that you can make the most of what you have and still come out with a big smile and a warm heart. The author uses cute pictures and large text that makes reading fun and easy for children. This is a great book to have around all year but would make a great book for a Christmas time tradition to be read and enjoyed by families over and over again.

As always, the author Sally Huss is so imaginative in her story and her illustrations are just adorable! My kids and I have downloaded a lot of Kindle books during this winter break from school. Right before Christmas, we read her
The Tree Within the Tree
. For us it was a sweet tale of the value of all things, no matter what other people may think or say, and the beauty of repurposing everyday items into Christmas decorations that any tree would be proud to wear.

Appreciation
A family comes together to find things they have to decorate their new Christmas tree. The tree itself learns a lesson about appreciation as well. This is a good book for kids or dogs to appreciate..

Picked this up as a free Kindle book. I'm always checking out stories that I think are appropriate for younger readers. This book was good clean reading, but not remarkable. "A Charlie Brown Christmas" covers this subject much better.
