What difference can one small boy make? Jacob arrives in the town of Hope to discover that everyone is busy. In fact, no one even says hello.
When he asks his grandmother why everyone is so cold and distant, she reminisces about a time when everyone in Hope brought ornaments to the tree in the center of the town square and celebrated Christmas together. She remembers the joy.
Jacob asked why this tradition stopped. His grandmother responds that the star for the treetop had been lost, and the tradition had simply been forgotten.
Jacob wonders what difference one small boy can make. Learn more about his marvelous and inspiring adventure in "The Hope Tree."
This simple but endearing story and Kip Richmond's inspired illustrations will become part of a family tradition that is centered on the true meaning of Christmas.
