"In this illustrated picture book, the Great Manitou searches for the right tree to give the Innu for their first Christmas tree in the cold northern winter. The Great Manitou, wanting to give the Innu people a special tree to brighten their winter, asks all the trees of the North if they would like to be chosen as the first Christmas Tree, but they are all too proud. Only the humble little fir tree, who Manitou had originally overlooked, agrees"-- Provided by publisher.
