Book excerpt: When his first Christmas season came, Hope stood proudly amongst the other evergreen trees. “Here comes a family,’’ thought the tree. “Surely they will pick me.” But the family looked around and walked right past Hope to choose another tree. When Hope is planted at a Christmas tree farm, he can’t wait to grow up and go home with a family. But year after year, people pass him by. No matter how tall Hope grows, no one takes him home to be their Christmas tree. Hope can’t understand what’s wrong with him—why will no one pick him? This charming Christmas story teaches children that there is a plan for all of us, and God has created us the way we are for a reason. None of us are imperfect—we’re just perfect in ways we don’t always understand. Learn along with Hope what it means to be perfectly imperfect, and how beautiful the holidays can be when we find our place. Want to enjoy a great story and help people in need?
