The Christmas Tree is based on a very special Norwegian tradition established in 1947: according to this tradition, the Mayor of Oslo sends an impressive Christmas tree to Britain every year – a gift symbolising peace and friendship between the two nations, and a thank you for Britain’s help during the Second World War. The tree travels thousands of kilometres to reach Trafalgar Square in London, where it stands proudly, all lit up, every year. Every year, the Society of Poets of Great Britain asks a poet to write a poem to welcome the tree. Julia Donaldson wrote the verses that later inspired the illustrations and became this book in honour of the Christmas tree in 2020. A beautiful, enchanting rhyming story about hope and the meaning of the festive season.
