Brief Description

Item#: 2513505
    Shel Silverstein writes and draws an intriguingly ambiguous classic, the meaning of which will probably always be debated. The Giving Tree tells the tale of a young boy and the tree who, literally piece by piece, gives her life for him.
 
 

Description:

Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk... and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave.

This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.

This book is one I read as a child and have learned a great lesson from. I have now passed it on to my niece and nephews.
