Everett may be a plastic palm tree, but he has big dreams of stardom. Too bad he’s stuck in a food court at the local mall at the Sandy Straw. He decides to bling himself up and head off to the bright lights of NYC. When a snowstorm strands him at the airport, can he find a way to still bring joy? 

The idea of a plastic palm tree dreaming of being a Christmas tree might seem absurd, but who doesn’t remember the tv commercial with the Christmas lighted palm tree? I found this a nice change-up from more traditional pb’s.
