Original Title: The Giving Tree
Genre: Children's book
Original publisher: Harper Collins
Date first published: 7. October 1964
Date first read: Around age 3
Main character(s): Boy, Tree
Favorite quote: "And the tree was happy"
Synopsis: *SPOILER-ISH*
The story revolves around a tree and a little boy, whom the tree loves. The boy starts using the tree as his playground, but with time, he winds up using all of the tree's parts (apples, branches, trunk, stump) at different stages of his life for his differing needs. It's a bitter-sweet story, but really wonderful.
Review:
This is the first book I ever read. At age 3. I loved it. I still do, and I like to think that it has inspired my views about life: The key to happiness is making your loved ones happy. They may not always show their love, but they do come back to you. :)
