The Tale of Three Trees tells the Easter story from the viewpoint of 3 trees. It is an unusual point of view. The trees have big dreams for their life but, they think those dreams are ruined when they are chopped down. The carpenter does not make them into what they want to be, but in the end they did become what they wanted. It tells the significance of Christ’s life and his atoning sacrifice on the cross.

This book could only be used in a Christian Classroom. It is a Christ centered book that tells the story of Jesus from birth to resurrection.
