Once there was a little 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 book is great for kids and teaches you a lot of life lessons. I would recommend it to any parent and child who loves children stories.
i'm going to right about the book once there was a tree... and she loved a little boy. and every day the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them and play king of the forest. he would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches and eat apples. and they would play hide- and- go-seek. and when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade. the end
it is a heart flowing dazzling book!
Wonderful Story. Very touching.
