Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice how much they have changed since last year, or when you want to establish a grounding holiday tradition that honors the passing of time. This gentle story follows ten years in the life of a family and a small fir tree in the forest, showing how both grow and change side-by-side. It provides a comforting look at the continuity of family life and the predictable rhythm of the seasons. Beyond the holiday theme, the book serves as a wonderful introduction to the concept of time and growth for children aged 3 to 7. It illustrates how a family expands and how traditions evolve while remaining a source of stability. Parents will appreciate the way it subtly integrates math through counting and measurements, making the abstract concept of growing up feel tangible and celebratory.
