5 / 5 Stars
A really simple children’s book, with a great premise.
What would life be like with a friend to stay with you, all through the ages?
That is what the giving tree is.
Some pages have very few words, some pages are full of words – like life – full, then empty, and then full again. It also harks back to within us the little boy (or girl) never vanishes, even as we grow old. And the giving tree always knows us at the boy or girl.
