A Tree for Peter
written and illustrated by Kate Seredy

No one had ever seen big Peter before, and no one ever saw him again, and no one ever saw him at all but small Peter who lived in dingy, squalid old Shantytown. Yet it was big Peter's gift to small Peter — a shiny toy spade with a red handle, and a small green tree lighted with tiny candles — that caused Shantytown people to have hope again.

We only have bargain priced copies left, they have been marked down from $19.95 to $7.98. These books show some wear and tear and they will have a small remainder mark on the bottom. We will not be reprinting this title after the remaining copies have been sold.

"A Tree for Peter is an inspiring chapter book that once read will be long remembered. This is a treasure of a book with much chance for meaningful dialogue!"

—Jane Claire Lambert, author of Five In A Row

A small blond boy is seen clinging to a rusty iron fence against a rain-drenched backdrop of any 'shanty town' — and A Tree for Peter happens. "From such small sparks were all my books written. I never really know what the story is going to be; soon after I start writing, the very people I am writing about take over and tell me what they want to do."

—Kate Seredy, quoted from Contemporary Authors
