Beautiful illustrations, this book tells a story about a little boy, exited about Christmas morning, can't sleep. He has many questions running through his mind about the first Christmas, long ago. The little angel from the top of the trees appears next to his bed. The angel tells the little boy all about the tree in his perspective. It's so cute because the angel is a little boy, just like the main character. He's missing his two front teeth and so tells the story about what happened that night Jesus was born speaking with a lisp.
This book is about a boy whose angel treetopper sings to him. He grows old and cant hear it but his son can. It is a religious version of the Polar Express only not interesting.
