The Little Fir Tree is a true story written for children with special needs. The tree, located in Aspen, Colorado, was measured in 1985 at 61 feet. In 2006 it was 91 feet. It is estimated that at the time this book first went to press in 2011, the Little Fir Tree was approximately 95 feet tall. That was 12 years before this edition was published.

Each year on the first Sunday evening of December, the decorated tree is lit up in a town-wide celebration launching the holiday season in Aspen. This book honors the Little Fir Tree's spirit of survival.
