The Giving Tree

by Shel Silverstein

*****
I love this tender tale of a boy and his tree. I also had a tree as a child. It didn't speak to me the way the one in the story did, but it did provide me with many childhood memories! I love that this book can be enjoyed on multiple levels: from its deep and sincere symbolism to the simplistic images of a boy enjoying his childhood.
