The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

5.0

---

Shel Silverstein made a simple, yet amazing book! This cute poetry book is about a little boy who goes to the giving tree and always takes something from her. It makes The Giving Tree happy that so she doesn't mind. The story progresses until the little boy is an old man and the tree is no longer a tree, but a stump. The the old man uses the stump as a chair and the giving tree was still happy. This is such a feel good story that will make you smile. I loved the way the little boy stuck by the tree his whole life and always had a purpose for the tree, even though he was using her. The friendship they build is inseparable. I loved the story this poetry book told. This book reminded me of a parent's love for their kids and it made me reflect on my relationship with my mom and how she is always there for me even though I am not the best kid.
