'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.
Read your days away, book fellows. And remember, A Book a Day keeps Boredom at Bay ;o)
