The Christmas Tugboat: How the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Came to New York City by George Matteson, Adele Ursone, James E. Ransome

If you are like me, you haven't really wondered about where the Rockefeller Christmas tree comes from. This is a great story that gives readers insight into the tradition and how one family played a part in getting the tree to Rockefeller Center. With wonderful illustrations, readers travel along the Hudson with the family as they go and get the tree with their tugboat and deliver it safely to the shore just under the Manhattan Bridge.

Interesting personal story about a tugboat delivering the tree to New York. Would have like a little more history and context (where did the tree come from? Why did it travel by boat?)
