'Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.' So begins a 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 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.
