The holiday season is a time when readers of all ages seek out some heartwarming literature that captures the true spirit of family tradition. While children's shelves are filled with stories of holiday magic from the human perspective, there is a rare opportunity for a timeless story that re-imagines this beloved tradition through a completely fresh lens.
It may not be Christmas yet, but the wondrous lessons of the season will arrive early at the 2026 Manila International Book Fair, where Andrew O. Jackson's heartwarming book, “Christmas for a Tree,” will be featured in a special book display.
The Eagle Literary is proud to represent Andrew O. Jackson to showcase book at the 2026 Manila International Book Fair. The Philippines' longest-running and largest book fair, attracting more than 160,000 visitors, from publishers to authors to educators, and readers of all ages. The fair will be held from September 9 to 13, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center Manila. You can find this book at stand number 2-107 under the exhibit of The Eagle Literary. It is also available on various online retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Alibris.
The book begins with a meaningful question: What would it feel like to finally be chosen for something one has always hoped to become? Jackson explores the idea of being recognized, not by luck, but by your own faith and belief in yourself that you were the best and would one day stand out from all the rest.
In this enchanting and inspirational tale for readers of all ages, Jackson invites readers to discover through imagination on how a tree would feel to receive the most supreme honor imaginable to be 'chosen' in becoming a Christmas Tree. A most joyful symbol of the most celebrated time of the year. The Christmas season is the most blessed time of year to be thankful, and for one Christmas tree, that time had come. The time to give and receive. The time to belong and believe. The time to know and understand that all things, great and small, are made possible in the sight of God, and by his hand.
Just imagine, if you will? A Christmas tree. Your Christmas tree, telling its own story. “Christmas for a Tree” gives a voice to a beloved centerpiece of the holiday season, where a familiar tradition become a deeply moving journey.
Born in Birmingham and raised in Brooklyn, Andrew O. Jackson developed an early interest in journalism and storytelling before serving in the United States Marine Corps. After returning to New York, his work as a city transit bus operator placed him in daily contact with people from every walk of life. Those encounters became a rich source of insight and inspiration, encouraging him to write across genres ranging from poetry and fables to fiction and spiritual reflection. With “Christmas for a Tree,” Jackson now shares a story shaped by years of observation, imagination, and faith.
