This book has been described as "one of the most divisive books in children's literature"; the controversy stems from whether the relationship between the main characters a boy and the eponymous tree should be interpreted as positive i.
Silverstein had difficulty finding a publisher for The Giving Tree. The book follows the lives of an apple tree and a boy, who develop a relationship with each other. The tree is very "giving" and the boy ages into a "taking" teenager, a young man, a middle-aged man, and finally an elderly man. Despite the fact that the boy ages in the story, the tree addresses the boy as "Boy" throughout his entire life.
In an effort to make the boy happy at each of these stages, the tree gives him parts of herself, which he can transform into material items, such as money from her apples when the boy is a teenager, a house from her branches when the boy is a young man, and a boat from her trunk when the boy is a middle-aged man. With every stage of giving, "the Tree was happy". In the final pages, both the tree and the boy feel the sting of their respective "giving" and "taking" nature.
The boy returns as a tired elderly man to meet the tree once more. She tells him she is sad because she cannot provide him shade, apples, or any materials like in the past. He tells her that all he wants is "a quiet place to sit and rest", which the tree, who is weak being just a stump, could provide. With this final stage of giving, "the Tree was happy". Interest in the book increased by word of mouth ; for example, in churches "it was hailed as a parable on the joys of giving". In a —, National Education Association online survey of children, the book was ranked 24th among the "Kids' Top Books".
