THE GIVING TREES – SHEL SILVERSTE

As recommended by Meghan Markle as the one book she can’t wait to share with her child – the timeless fable about the gift of loveOnce there was a little tree … and she loved a little boy. So  begins the classic bestseller, 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.
