About the Author

Richard Wagner grew up in Southern California. When he was fourteen years old, a business friend of his father's had a small Christmas tree delivered as a thank you. Their family already had a large tree decorated in the house. Not being able to find anyone who needed a tree, that small Christmas tree stood outside by itself for the remainder of the Christmas holiday. Needles, the Forgotten Christmas Tree is a tribute to that little tree and what might have been, but more importantly, to all the beauty, goodness, and hope that Christmas brings to us all. Mr. Wagner continues to reside in Southern California with his wife and two children.

Editorial Reviews

"Hope springs eternal in Needles, the Forgotten Christmas Tree by Richard Wagner. Needles teaches us that it is always too soon to abandon hope...(and) that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A Christmas book must include the joy of giving, and Needles finds his destiny due to an act of giving." - Readers' Favorite.

"A lovely Christmas story, perfect reading for getting into the holiday mood"- The Children's Book Review
