I was first introduce to the book The Giving Tree when I was a young child. It was given to me by my youth minister for a christmas gift. It is well written and illustrated.

The book tells a very nice story about a tree and a young boy. The tree and the young boy meet in the woods and the tree offers herselft to the boy. First branches to swing from, then offering shade on a hot day, an apple to eat and wood to build a house. The book also has a great ending.

I purhcased this book for my daughter and I will be  purchasing it for my nieces and nephews and any future grandchildren.
