For the Giver

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

What better way to say thank you than with Shel Silverstein's timeless classic, The Giving Tree. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, touched with sadness and aglow with consolation. A moving parable for readers of all ages, The Giving Tree offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.
