The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

这本书的故事环绕着一棵树和小男孩的关系。树因爱小男孩而付出她自己。就像是父母无条件爱孩子的一种体现。故事不仅生动感人，也让年幼的小孩能意识到每个人的生命在不同的季节时的需要是不同的，从而让成人能和孩子更深入的探讨爱和感恩的主题，

同时，也探讨一些其他课题 例如能施的赋予和接受他人能回馈的局限。

This story is about the relationship between a tree and a boy. The tree expresses its love for the little boy by giving . I find that this love expression draws resemblance to some sort of unconditional parental love for their child. It is a moving and touching story.
It also offers glimpses of the seasons of life that a person goes through, providing young minds an opportunity to anticipate the needs one will meet as they grow older. The book also opens up conversational possibilities to discuss with child deeper on issues of love and gratitude. Also explore the themes on the gift of giving and the acceptance of another’s capacity to reciprocate.

绘画师巧妙地引用简单的黑线条图纹，每页锁定在树成长的同一个场景，引导读者注视树枝叶和小男孩互动的细节，给树带来栩栩如生的观感。

Its illustration in simple black lined drawing fixed on just one setting of where the tree grew helps to put a constant to the pages so that the reader’s eyes maybe drawn to the varying details of the leaves, branches and boy’s interaction, thus giving life to the tree. A very clever, intentional and approach used by Silverstein to animate the tree. As such some of the pages do feel like a flip page book, which add on to the animated dimension of the tree.

的确是一本百看不厌的经典绘本。

Truly a classic book to read.
