About This Book

A fable in which birds and creatures, inspired by glimpses of a decorated evergreen at human celebrations, convene under the lion's authority to create their own festive tree. Tame and wild animals share memories of gifts and ornaments, assign roles—elephants to fetch a tree, giraffes and monkeys to hang decorations, fireflies to supply light—and pool natural resources to reproduce the season's warmth. The narrative emphasizes cooperation, empathy, and the idea that generosity and festive ritual can be remade through communal effort across different species.
