The Giving Tree is a classic and moving story by Shel Silverstein. Once there wa
s a little tree ...and she loved a little boy. So begins a story of unforgettabl
e perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Sh
el Silverstein.
Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, s
wing from her branches, or slide down her trunk ...and the tree was happy. But a
s 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 consolat
ion.
