My New Favorite Picture Book

THE QUEEN and the FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE: Queen Charlotte's Gift to England by Nancy Churnin, pictures by Luisa Uribe.

Picture
Queen Charlotte brought her family's festive holiday yule bough from Germany to England. While planning a Christmas Day party in 1800 at Windsor Castle for over 100 children, she realized a single bough isn't enough. So she brought in the whole tree instead, making it the first known Christmas Tree in England. This story tells a little known fact about a favorite holiday tradition.
Nancy has a true talent for writing nonfiction stories that bring history to life. She and Luisa have spun a beautiful story about one of the worlds most recognized Christmas traditions.

    I love connecting kid and books. As a librarian, I started every week introducing my new favorite picture book. I loved discovering new picture books and now I’ll be sharing my favorites with you.
