Book of the Month: The Giving Tree Book by Shel Silverstein
Mighty Oaks believes a love for reading is part of what it means to be a life-long learner. Each month we recommend a book based on our fruit of the spirit of the month. This fruit of the spirit is kindness and we recommend The Giving Tree Book by Shel Silverstein
"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.
Every month, we recommend a "book of the month" for fun reading and recommended activities between parent and child at home!
