Written and illustrated by
Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree is a children’s picture book that tells the
life stories of a female apple tree and a boy who are able to communicate with
each other. In very few words with minimalist drawings, Silverstein’s popular
parable explores not only the gift of giving, but also one’s capacity to love.
