Just in time for the Holidays, a children’s story for the child in all of us. All Bruce ever wanted was to be chosen by a special family to be their Christmas tree… but no one wants a BLUE Christmas tree! A heartwarming tale about accepting the differences in ourselves and in others, Bruce is a story about alienation and individuality, about prejudice and rising above it. And maybe most importantly, it’s a story about finding one’s place regardless of one’s “handicapsâ€.
