The Giving Tree — 

I cannot say that I remember this book from childhood but I found it rather as an adult about to welcome a baby into the world and I fell in love.  It is such an intense story about the power of love.  A power that makes you give everything possible for the happiness of others. But it is also about how people can be blind for a long time, until one day they realize that you have given your everything.  It shows how life can be, not always pleasant and Disney like.  Of course the calm narrative and soothing pictures help make this a wonderful bedtime story to all five of my children!
