My Thoughts: The Giving Tree

Sunday, October 17, 2010

“Once there was a tree…and she loved a little boy” I loved this book from the moment I read it during my practicum in 2006. Misha made me read it to her during rest time. I found myself unable to speak and choked up at some parts of the story. The drawings may be in black and white but look at the details and you’ll see just how wonderful each page is.

“Shel Silverstein has created such a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another’s capacity to love in return.”

It reminded me of the people who love me unconditionally and those who have been altruistic eversince…my parents.

I’m saving up for my own hardbound copy now. ——> got one at last!!! :)

This is one story I’d love to read to my future kids and grandkids.

Why don’t you get a copy and see for yourself?

About Me

I am Paula Garcia and Teacher Papol is just one of the many nicknames I got from the children I’ve worked with through the years. I am currently a First Grade teacher during the day and an MA Psychology student at night.

I like writing during my free time--as a way of destressing and keeping track of the things that go on in my life.

My goal is to share my experiences and ideas about activities, dealing with children and families, resources, etcetera to help my fellow teachers in their journey of touching lives.
