This classic is perfect for both young readers and lifelong fans. This edition features a beautiful metallic green jacket, a commemorative gold sticker, and a CD recording of Silverstein reading The Giving Tree.

"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy."

So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.

Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation.

The Giving Tree is a meaningful gift for milestone events such as graduations, birthdays, and baby showers.

Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit plus Runny Babbit Returns.

Yes, self-worth is something you can learn and practice! The Worthy Project tells you how. Take a step back and think about how satisfied you are with your life. Is your home too cluttered? Do you have trouble saving money? Do you feel like your friends and family take more of your energy than they give back? We all have an area (or two!) in our lives that we're not quite satisfied with—and often those trouble spots stem from one simple place: a lack of self-worth. Worthiness is the quality of deserving attention, energy, and respect. It's not confidence. It's not bravado. You can't fake worthiness, nor can you accidentally end up with it. But what does it actually mean to cultivate self-worth, and how do you do it?
