The Giving Tree...
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
This is by far my favorite children's story. I read this when I was a little girl and I fell in love! It's a story about a boy and a tree that just gives and gives. At the very end of the boy and the tree's life they are still friends and enjoy spending time with each other. I love the relationship between the boy and the tree. Their relationship transforms as their lives do. I am not sure if this book made me be the giver I am today, or if I identify with the book because I love to give. But I feel the principles in this book are invaluable and should be passed on from generation to generation. Now, I love reading this book to the little ones and see how they identify with the book and its characters.
Hi Cortnee, I have never read "The Giving Tree", but I love Shel Silverstein! My daughter and I read all of his poem books, and my son took an interest in him last year so we were able to pass all of her books down to him. This sounds like a delightful book. I must get a copy! Thanks for sharing.
