O Christmas Tree: Its History and Holiday Traditions, by Jacqueline Farmer.
This accessible children's book explores the historical roots of the modern Christmas tree, from the palm and evergreen branches of ancient winter solstice celebrations to the shiny aluminum trees of the 1960s American holiday. Curious readers will also learn about the workings of Christmas tree farms; different types of trees (Scotch Pine, Douglas Fir, Eastern White Pine, and Colorado Blue Spruce); and fun facts and trivia.
