November 5th 2PM
On Saturday, November 5th, at 2PM, local author, Ed Mehler, will be talking about his Christmas-themed book for children, "The Scrawny Little Tree".
Not only is this a wonderful book for children, the story behind the story is heart-warming too. Ed first published this book in 1973. Then, out of the blue, this year he heard from Penguin Books that they wanted to republish it! This is amazing since so many books don't get published the first time - - let alone a second time!
"The Scrawny Little Tree" tells of a destitute little boy who has always wanted a Christmas tree. He finally has saved enough to buy a little tree all his own, one with scrawny limbs and very few needles. But the boy's love for his first Christmas tree is not affected by its diminutive stature. His love and the magic of Christmas combine to make strange and wonderful things happen to the town. Told in rhyme and with retro illustrations, Ed's book is sure to become a favorite holiday tale!
