Chapters had a 20% kids and teens books this week and I was reminded this week of my favourite book growing up: The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. Reading this book was the first time I remember being touched by a message. Sure, I had cried before, but that would be because I didn't get my way or had dropped my ice cream on the ground. The Giving Tree was my first memory of feeling something beyond myself.
