Growing up, my mom read a few of the same books to me in a rotation before I went to bed. This was one of them. I have a personal connection to this book and sometimes when I read it it brings a tear to my eye. The boy’s relationship to the tree is one of love then selfishness but then comes back around full circle to love again. All the while the tree has nothing but love for the boy despite the things he puts her through. This is a good lesson for children to learn, if you really love someone, no matter what they do, you will always love them.
