The Tale of Three Trees is an old folktale retold by Angela Hunt. Three trees on a hill dream of what they will become. One dreams of being a treasure chest, another dreams of being a mighty ship, the third wants to become the tallest tree on the hill. But none of them become what they imagined. The first tree becomes a common feed box for farm animals, the next becomes a common fishing boat, and the third tree becomes wood beams. As the years pass they almost forget the dreams they once had. One night, the first tree becomes a manager for a little baby boy. The tree realizes that it is holding the most precious treasure in the world, Jesus.

Really lovely story! We did this free lapbook with it a while back: http://www.homeschoolshare.com/tale_of_the_three_trees.php
Thanks for sharing that with me! Very cool!
Great book! My father-in-law read it aloud to the whole family a few years back at Easter. My boys still remember it.
This was one of the first books I bought my son after he was born. It is so much more than a story.
