-Titulo Original : The Carpenters Gift A Christmas Tale About The Rockefeller Center Tree-Fabricante : Random House Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: Review Review, The Horn Book, November/December 2011 Rubel’s story of compassion hits all the right holiday notes; LaMarche’s lush, warm illustrations of glowing Christmas trees and smiling, caring characters drive home the central message of charity. Review, School Library Journal, October 1, 2011 Detailed characterizations and a straightforward tone keep the tender tale from becoming saccharine. LaMarche’s almost impressionistic colored-pencil illustrations put readers in the midst of the action. Review, Publishers Weekly, September 26, 2011 Author/historian Rubel’s story of a Depression-era family’s connection to that first tree-and the ripple effect of its bounties-puts the now magnificent symbol in perspective. LaMarche conveys emotional resonance with gauzy, soft-hued paintings of the inspirational proceedings. “The Carpenter’s Gift captures two of New York City’s greatest traditions the Rockefeller Center tree lighting and giving back to people in need in a way that families can share together all year long.” Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of the City of New York “The heartwarming tale told in The Carpenter’s Gift brings together-through beautiful illustrations and a moving, multi-generational story-two great traditions: the Rockefeller Center tree and the neighbor-helping-neighbor program of Habitat for Humanity.” -Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States and dedicated Habitat volunteer “Through my support of Habitat for Humanity, I have seen all of the good that can happen when people work alongside each other to build something better. I see the same thread in The Carpenter’s Gift, a sweet story” about a young boy whose life is changed when new friends help his family build a house - Susan Sarandon, actress “My dad was a carpenter who built the house we grew up in, and this book brings to mind his gentle nature and generosity.” - Garrison Keillor, storyteller This modern classic Christmas story teaches children the spirit of the season by bringing together two great New York City traditions: the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and the neighbor-helping-neighbor program of Habitat for Humanity. Opening in Depression-era New York City, The Carpenters Gift tells the story of eight-year-old Henry and his father selling Christmas trees. They give a Christmas tree to construction workers building Rockefeller Center and celebrate together. Through the kindness of the construction workers and neighbors, Henry gets his wish for a nice, warm home to replace his familys drafty shack. He plants a pinecone from that first Rockefeller Center Tree. As an old man, Henry repays the gift by donating the enormous tree that has grown from that pinecone to become a Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. After bringing joy to thousands as the Rockefeller Center tree, its wood will be used to build a home for another family in need. Written by childrens nonfiction author David Rubel in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity. Gorgeous illustrations crafted by Jim LaMarche. Rubels story of compassion hits all the right holiday notes; LaMarches lush, warm illustrations of glowing Christmas trees and smiling, caring characters drive home the central message of charity. --The Horn Book Review Sample Photos fromThe Carpenters Gift About the Author DAVID RUBEL is a nationally recognized author and speaker whose work focuses on making American history accessible to a broad audience.

From a red bird to a polar bear to a reindeer, a menagerie of winter animals help Anja make her way to Santa.

And dont miss the other Wish books: The Reindeer Wish The Tiny Wish The Brave Little Puppy The Puppys Wish The Polar Bear Wish From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1-Anja longs to be one of Santas elves. Dressed in full Nordic regalia complete with red gnomic hat, she certainly looks the part. A thoughtful and helpful child, she acts the part as well. When she skis off in her quest to find Santa, a bird, horse, musk ox, polar bear, and reindeer show her the way. The full-page photographs look like they could be movie stills, so sharp and seamless are the figures that Anja and the animals cut against the winter landscape of Northern lights, glaciers, and snowy pine trees.

His sister, Annie, was standing by his bed. “What’s going on?” he asked. “I heard a weird sound outside,” said Annie. “And guess what I saw!” “What?” said Jack. “An eagle!” said Annie. “A huge eagle. It was sitting on top of the lamppost in our yard.” “No way,” said Jack. “Yes, way,” said Annie. “I’ll bet Morgan sent him.” Jack sat up in bed.

The eagle was perched on the roof of the magic tree house. “Yay!” said Annie. “You were right!” said Jack. They climbed up the rope ladder and into the tree house. Sunlight streamed onto the floor. It shined on two small wooden tablets. Next to the tablets was a scroll. “A message from Morgan!” said Annie. She unrolled the scroll and read: Land by the Danube Many years ago.
