Parent Verdict
A gentle, simply illustrated picture book about a tree that gives everything it has to a boy who grows up and keeps taking from it. It is wholesome, but its one-sided relationship and wistful ending can prompt sad feelings and good conversations about generosity, selfishness, and healthy relationships.
