MaLou and Rodney love the decorated tree in town and can’t wait to do a fancy tree in their own home. But the year has been hard and money is tight and Mama and Daddy just don’t think they’ll be enough for a tree this year. No Christmas tree?! The only thing worse than that is seeing how sad their parents are. The children come up with a creative solution that embraces the Louisiana bayou’s bounty. With ingenuity and open hearts they fill the tree, and their family, with love for the perfect holiday blessing!
Author and talented Baton Rouge, Louisiana photographer Angelle Terrell makes her writing debut with this heartwarming tale of family blessings found in the simplest of things.
