Bruce the Spruce: Children's Chapter Book

by Moira Fisher

Bruce the Spruce aspires to be a Christmas tree, because he wants to be noble and important. When Bernice the Bunny tells him that his brother, Patrick, had been chosen to be the town square Christmas tree he knows fame is his destiny. He's horrified to hear that Patrick was left to die after the event even though the whole town knew he was a magnificent tree. When fall gives way to winter, Bruce shrinks down, trying to look lopsided so he won't be picked as a Christmas tree.A conservation minded family chooses him, has him potted, and takes him home to decorate. After Christmas he is put outside next to the garbage where his companions are icy winds, feelings of rejection and the scary chomping sounds of the chipper on its weekly rounds.Can Bruce find a new life and purpose? What will happen to him? Is there life after Christmas for Bruce?
