Book Description
On November 21, 1912, the schooner Rouse Simmons set sail from a small northern Michigan town across Lake Michigan. Affectionately dubbed the "Christmas Tree Ship," this was an annual trek for the Rouse Simmons. With its cargo of Christmas trees, the ship was bound for Chicago. There Captain Herman Scheunemann would sell the trees for 50 cents or $1.00 and even gave many away to needy families. But the schooner never makes its destination. The Rouse Simmons, with all hands and cargo, disappears into the cold waters. The ship's wreckage is not found until 1971. Drawing from stories told by her grandfather, author Carol Crane weaves a fictional tale based on the true events of the doomed schooner. And she explains how the captain's widow went on to continue his tradition of delivering holiday trees to Chicago. Carol Crane's many books for Sleeping Bear Press include the best-selling P is for Pilgrim: A Thanksgiving Alphabet and The Handkerchief Quilt. As a literacy advocate, Carol speaks at schools and conferences. She lives in North Carolina. Chris Ellison has illustrated children's picture books and adult historical fiction for nearly 20 years. His book Let Them Play was a 2006 Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People. Chris lives in Mississippi.

Book Description
as the title refers, this is a story about a living Christmas tree named Jasper. In the beginning, Jasper himself explains how he came to be from seed to sprout at his birthplace at Christy Farms. It is there that he makes friends with his growing tray mates and a large orange orb known as a pumpkin named Oscar. Jasper was a slow grower and known as the runt of the crop and had received grief for it. Over time he and one of his tray mates grew to be two of the largest trees at Christy Farms. Jasper, his fellow tray mate, and Oscar the Pumpkin win a local grow-off competition, which in turn sends them to the state fair. At the state fair, Jasper is bought at an auction by a casino mogul, and he is shipped to Las Vegas, where he experiences the life of being an official Christy Christmas tree. Through the days leading to Christmas, life was grand. Lots of attention was given to Jasper. On Christmas Eve late at night, Jasper makes friends with a special guy in a red suit that recognizes Jasper as a Christy tree. Jaspers newfound late-night friend promises Jasper a belated Christmas gift for an act of kindness Jasper had shown. After Christmas, the situation goes downhill for poor Jasper now that his job is finished, and life as he knows it seem grim. Read to see how Jaspers life turns out being a past tree of Christmas.
