The illustrated life of a Christmas tree

Here’s a little story about a Christmas tree. 

Inspired by reading Braiding Sweetgrass I wanted to take the time to get to know the tree I had brought into my home and give thanks for its gifts and growth. So it’s based on a true story, or as much of a true story as I could find about the life of a Nordmann fir.

I’ve loved putting this together, just like I loved putting together my Pup’s Tale at the start of lockdown. Next year I hope to do lots more semi-narrative work like this and spend lots more time being grateful for the gifts all around me.
