The Christmas Pine is based on a true story. It celebrates
a special tradition that stretches back over seventy years.
Every year, the Mayor of Oslo in Norway presents the British people
with a spectacular Christmas tree. The tree is a symbol of peace
and friendship, and a thank you for the UK's support during
World War II.
Each year, the UK Poetry Society asks a poet to write a poem to
welcome the tree. Julia Donaldson originally wrote The Christmas
Pine to celebrate the 2020 Christmas tree. The poem was
performed by London schoolchildren, and displayed in Trafalgar
Square.
A magical picture book for Christmas, written in perfect,
heartfelt rhyme by Julia Donaldson
