"Once there was a tree ... and she br loved a little boy." So begins a br story of unforgettable perception, br beautifully written. br br "This Pixel-Media Movie, br augments the piece by bringing br together a blend of diction and music br in a distinctive and impressive manner". br br Every day the boy would come br to the tree to eat her apples, swing br from her branches, or slide down br her trunk ... and the tree was happy. br But as the boy grew older he began br to want more from the tree, and br the tree gave and gave. br br This is a tender story, touched br with sadness, aglow with consolation. br Shel Silverstein has created a br moving parable for readers of all ages br that offers an affecting interpretation br of the gift of giving and a serene br acceptance of another's capacity to br love in return.
