"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.
This miniature full-cloth, gold-stamped edition will be treasured by all ages.
