Books Descriptions
"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy."So begins a story of unforgettable
perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel
Silverstein.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.
