Overview
A charming, hopeful illustrated tale about one forgotten Christmas tree, from beloved writer and comedian Miranda Hart, featuring delightful illustrations from Lucy Claire Dunbar In January, Christmas trees across the land are taken down, discarded and forgotten. But what if one Christmas tree wants a different fate . . . This is a story about talking and dancing Christmas trees (yes, dancing!), a dog called Jessie who also talks, a woman called Joan who - less surprisingly, in that she is a human being - talks too, two strange men (and yes, they talk) and their truck (which doesn't talk). There are also lots of lights, baubles and stars. Can Joan and Jessie rescue the discarded January Christmas trees, or will their plans be thwarted by the two men and their truck?

From that commitment, came her hugely popular online success.
