Shel Silverstein

An author that I loved as a child and read to my children today is Shel Silverstein. His poetry is unique, entertaining and funny. Our family favorite is the giving tree. This story is wonderful in values and morals. It tells of a boy and a tree and how the boy takes and takes and the tree gives and gives. Until one day the tree has nothing more to give for the boy to have what he wants. It relates to life in general in my eyes. We all take so much but how much to we truly give back?
