The Giving Tree — 

I remember reading this book as a child, and I was delighted to find it showcased at my local bookstore.  My little girl loves this book as much as I did.
The friendship between the boy and the tree may be a tad depressing, but it is a life lesson that children need to learn - that you cannot just give, give, give or take, take, take, there must be a balance between the two.  And even when you think you have nothing, you always have yourself.
The illustrations are fantastic, and I recommend this book to anyone with kids :)
