“Once there was a tree…and she loved a little boy.“ So begins the 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 a boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story touch with sadness, a glow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers in affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another’s capacity to love in return.
