Giving & Taking

The Giving Tree is a book that I read to Lilly every so often. I read it to her, but I’m reading for myself just as much. I think we all need reminders to give more than we take.

Have you read Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree? How do you feel about it? I know it’s quite controversial. But as sad as it makes me, I think it’s an important lesson and reminder in today’s busy world. I want to teach the value of giving to my children. This book is an easy way for me to get the conversation brought up.
