The Giving Tree

Every day is a journey to be "happy." That journey soon becomes a decade and a decade becomes a lifetime. One of Shel Silverstein's most read works, "The Giving Tree" seemed most appropriate to recreate in 2020. This collection of writings, as well many other poems, were among my favorites as a child, and I shared them with my children. I want to preserve this moment with an artifact that may live on for generations, much like the author himself.  Music and SFX provided by Firstcom.
