The book’s somber themes made it a hard sell. Shel Silverstein had only sold one children’s book- Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back-when he went about finding a publisher for The Giving Tree. Multiple publishers rejected The Giving Tree. No matter your interpretation of the story, The Giving Tree is a children’s classic that helped make Shel Silverstein a household name-even if it took him a while to get there.
To others, it was a heartbreaking tale that messed them up during story time. Some readers remember The Giving Tree as a sweet picture book about the strength of unconditional love.
