Title: A Mother's Perspective
Review: I am a student in English Education and I was on campus with my three year old son. I sat on the floor of the bookstore and read this book to him. By the time the boy cut off all of the tree's limbs, I was quietly weeping. Several people were listening and one woman was crying as well. When I was finished and closed the book, one young man thanked me. The simple words and images of this story moved me (and my listeners) beyond what I can describe.To me, Mr. Silverstein's book illustrated some of what it means to be a parent, to give and give and give... gladly, until all is consumed. It is both a guide and a cautionary tale. To give is beautiful, but it can devastate.
