The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

5.0

Shel Silverstein has been one of my favourite authors for years, and this story is one that never fails to bring me to tears (No, really, every time I try to read this to my kids I sob at the end.). The story is so touching, and that poor tree just gives everything of herself away for the sake of a boy she loves so much. Much like being a parent, really. Maybe this is why I get so emotional?
