The Giving Tree, Shel Silverstein, trees, children's books,

This story touched me deeply because I love trees. Not only that, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein has a wonderful moral.

The book immediately touched me because it spoke of a tree's love for a boy and a boy's love of the tree he played with hour after hour, day after day, year after year. The book personified trees. I've always been partial to trees and their very realistic quiet wisdom. I'm a walnut grower and share a wonderful, enchanted time-space reality with some amazing trees that give and give to me every year.

This is a story about selfless love. Bravo Shel. This is a beautiful story! I highly recommend it!
