Description: Symbolizes the meanings of giving, receiving, dependence, and love through Shel Silverstein's animated fable of a tree and its love for a boy. Portrays the tree selflessly giving branches, shade, fruit, wood, and finally its stump to meet the boy's needs as he grows into an old man. Illustrates that the boy's life takes him progressively further from the tree but that neither his dependence on the tree nor the tree's love ever diminishes.
