Ages 4–8
The Giving Tree
by Shel Silverstein
Where to buyA tree gives everything it has to a boy it loves, from apples and shade to its branches and trunk, as the boy grows into an old man.
Why we recommend this book
One of the best conversation-starters about giving and gratitude. Read it together and ask: did the boy ever say thank you? What could he have given back? It helps children notice the people who give to them every day — especially parents.
