A Possible Tree

by Josephine Haskell Aldridge

Book Overview

The old fir tree on Joe Bracken's farm is too crooked to be of value to woodsmen from the lumber mill. But a raccoon and then a mother squirrel with young ones, and soon many other creatures, find comfort and safety in its twisted branches. On a snowy Christmas Eve, Joe's family and neighbors finally discover its magic as well. Full-color illustrations.

Customer Reviews

This book touched our hearts.

We received this book for Christmas, and it will always have a special place in our hearts. Our only child, a son of 26 years old, died of cancer four years ago. Some of his ashes were taken and planted under a Colorado Blue Spruce on the slopes of Mt Shasta. When we visit, the tall trees that surround him sway in the wind as if to protect him. The tree is a little crooked but it is growing beautifully. We would like to think that this book was written about our tree. The pictures are so well done and the story can be a lesson to us all.
