Christmas Farm by Mary Lyn Ray illustrated by Barry Root

When Wilma becomes tired of growing sunflowers and petunias, she decides to pursue evergreen trees in anticipation of selling Christmas trees.  With the help of her neighbor boy, Parker, the two of them witness a good return for their diligent work.
I liked how as the trees grew, Parker matured with them.  I also liked how Ms. Ray displayed how dreams and goals require hard work, perseverance and patience.
A great book to read before purchasing a live Christmas tree.
Borrowed from the library.
