The Beautiful Christmas Tree Hardcover - 1999
by Charlotte Zolotow; Yan Nacimbene (Illustrator); Yan Nascimbene (Illustrator)
Summary
Like Charlotte Zolotow's recently reissued The Bunny Who Found Easter, The Beautiful Christmas Tree has gently captured the true meaning of this special holiday for generations of young readers. In this timeless story Mr. Crockett teaches his snobbish neighbors that "beauty is as beauty does," when he rescues a scrawny tree. With years of loving care, the little pine grows strong, bringing songbirds and new friends to a lonely old man. The vibrant color palette and fresh compositions of Yan Nascimbene lend a modern look to a holiday staple. This new edition not only celebrates the spirit of Christmas but reaffirms our faith-almost thirty years since its first publication-in the basic goodness of people all year round.

Media reviews
"Nascimbene tackles Zolotow's 1972 story, providing delicate pen-and-watercolor illustrations in pale blue and tan. Mr. Crockett, described by the neighbors as a peculiar man,' buys the long empty brownstone, and sets about washing windows and fixing it up. He digs up the small square of soil in front, and buys a wizened little pine languishing in the flower shop. He nurtures it through the winter, and when spring comes he plants the tree, remarkably bigger and more robust, outside; as years pass it becomes a majestic pine, the glory of the neighborhood....The quiet story endures, as does its message." Kirkus Reviews
"Nascimbene’s delicate watercolors convey the emotional warmth of Zolotow’s testament to a simple man’s faith and love." Horn Book
"Beautiful . . . tinted with colors that change in brilliance with the seasons and the moods of the story. A visual delight." Booklist, ALA
