For three little trees who dream of what they will be someday - a holder of treasure, a fine ship, a hilltop beacon pointing to God - life proves to have something rather different in store. They are disappointed that their lives are so mundane. And, as the years pass, "the three trees nearly forgot their dreams." Yet each eventually gets its wish, although not in the way it had foreseen. When that happens, each discovers that things turned out just the way they should have. This is a moving and eloquent story. Its illustrations are simple yet powerful. Readers will be reminded that God has plans for every one of his creations, that He never loses sight any of us. Children will learn that when they don't get what they want, it may be because something even better is in store for them. Adults will understand the concept of true happiness coming when we align our will with God.

I am a Catholic School teacher and have read this to my class at different times of the year. I find it a fantastic tale and the children are always amazed by the end of the story. I have purchased it for our Pastor when he was transferred to another parish and he said it brought tears to his eyes. It's a great tale of how you don't have to be embedded with jewles, pointing to the sky or a grand ship taking fantastic voyages to be a good person. God loves us just the way we are weather it be in a mink coat or rags. |

This book was a wonderful addition to my family to enjoy. It describes three paths for three very different trees. It does have a Christian theme. All the more reason to include into your classic collection of books. We loved the book so much we bought 2 more as gifts to other families. |

I read this for the first time as an adult and I, hardened and cynical by my years on this planet, cried the sweetest tears. It is moving and rich and I don't think it gets sappy. It simply tells the story. I don't think it will win a Pulitzer any time soon, but I think the message in it is one everyone should hear. There is a plan, and even if you don't think you're on the right path- with a little trust something magnificent will happen in your life. |

This book is fantastic. It moved me to tears. It is now our tradition to read this book at Easter and Christmas because of the significance it has. I recommend this book to all ages, and I have given it for babies and graduation gifts. |
