'The Littlest Spruce' tells the story of a little spruce tree who gets separated from his parents when they are taken away from the forest. But thanks to two silly field mice and a boy named Roy, the littlest spruce is reunited with his parents on Christmas Day inside Roy's home. Jerris was inspired to write the story after the birth of his nephew, and was the first book in a trilogy. The third book in the series, 'The Littlest Witch,' Jerris adapted into a children's musical with his sister, Corinne Aquilina, and is licensed by Steele Spring Stage Rights. Written in metered poetry, 'The Littlest Spruce' is a feel-good story that doesn't dwell on the commercialism of Christmas, instead, focuses on the importance of family values. Former director of 'Good Morning America, Bob McKinnon, said, 'I was always told that big things come in the littlest packages. After reading 'The Littlest Spruce,' I now know why. Succinct, clever writing and colorful illustrations make if a perfect package for the big and little alike.' Elizabeth Forbes of Gannett Newspaper said, 'It makes one heck of a heartwarming Christmas tale.' 'The Littlest Spruce' is 28 pages long with full color illustrations by Tanya Weinberger. It is available in paperback on November 19, 2013 on Amazon.com and www.tonyjerris.com.
