Crinkle

A crooked little tree. A sparkly big heart. A Christmas story that celebrates every child who feels "different."

At Pineberry Tree Farm, all the trees stand tall, straight, and picture-perfect...
except one.

Crinkle is lopsided, zig-zaggy, unevenly green, and wonderfully unique.
Families visit the farm looking for the perfect Christmas tree, but Crinkle is always overlooked.

Until one snowy afternoon, a tiny car sputters up the hill.
Out hops Junie, a puffy little marshmallow of a girl who sees beauty in the places others forget to look.
With a warm hug and a huge smile, she chooses Crinkle - not in spite of his quirks, but because of them.

This charming and beautifully illustrated story teaches children:

✨ You don't have to be perfect to be chosen
✨ Different is beautiful
✨ Kindness glows brighter than any ornament
✨ Confidence grows when you feel loved for who you are

With its soft watercolor illustrations, cozy winter scenes, and gentle humor (including a delightfully wonky macaroni-angel tree topper!), Crinkle is a heartwarming holiday tale families will read again and again.
