As The Giving Tree turns fifty, this timeless classic is available for the first time ever in ebook format. This digital edition allows young readers and lifelong fans to continue the legacy and love of a classic that will now reach an even wider audience. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit. And don't miss the other Shel Silverstein ebooks, Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic!

In a sort of show and tell, each animal will add an ornament on a certain day until the tree is covered with beautiful handmade ornaments. But these aren’t just any ornaments—the animals have been asked to bring an ornament that shows something amazing they know about Jesus. As more and more ornaments adorn the tree, Little Mouse begins to panic about her turn. It seems like all the answers are taken! It’s not until she looks deep inside that she sees the greatest miracle of all—that Jesus came for her . . . and every one of us. A Christmas Tree for Jesus is the follow-up to the heartwarming Christmas storybooks, A Birthday Party for Jesus, Everyone Is Invited to Christmas, A Christmas Pageant for Jesus, and A Christmas Journey for Jesus. This picture book will offer young children a fun, relatable story of forest friends who discover how special they are to God and that the greatest gifts can’t be wrapped.
