Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Life is tough for Siddhu and his family after they move to Canada from India. So, when the other immigrant children in his apartment building tell him about Christmas, and how Santa always skips their building because no one puts up a Christmas tree, he decides this is his chance to make things better for all of them. He\u2019s going to find a way to get a Christmas tree into their building! What he doesn\u2019t anticipate, however, is how fiercely some of the adults resist. That is, until Siddhu and his friends learn the true meaning of Christmas spirit. And, suddenly, everything changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
