The Giving Tree — 

The Giving Tree is a wonderful book for children of all ages. It tells about a tree who loves a boy so much he gives him everything he has to give. It reminds me of God's love for us. In the late 60's I was at a benefit for the kidney foundation in Nashville, Tennessee. In a world that was full of long haired men and woman of that day, a bald headed man walked across the stage. Many years later I found out that this man that stuck out like a sore thumb at that time was Shel Silverstein the author of the Giving Tree. I wish I had gotten his autograph. I love all of his books.
