I just had ta sends you dez here pictures knowing how you’d preciate them. When I went through Mame’s garden- thar be a June bug munching on a leaf! Den-when I went to the beach -dar he was again! Den I sar him sittin’ in a bush with a big old bee buzzing around and then he went  scampering on a rose bud! Down by my pond he was up in a tree with a croaker eyeing him. Even when I went to sleeps- he was in my dream looking more like a fairy withouts a face!

 I know it sounds crazy. Momma said I need my head examined, but every wheres I be goin’ that June Bug be.

It gots me to thinkin’. That June Bug’s a lots like me! He sure does make the most of his days and preciate his friends.

Well Sir, say hello to William and Harry. I hope da weather’s good fer ya thar in the UK.
Your good friend,

Everyday the boy would come to play…but the boy grew older…and the tree was often alone.
                                  …And the tree was happy…but not really.”

Dear Mr. Silverstein,
Do you tell the children a painful tale of unconditional love? Or do present us with the poison of a one sided relationship? Where ever you are, Sir, you are the only one that has the answer.

Thank you, Mr. Silverstein,  for sharing The Giving Tree with us.
Au revoir,
The Artists of the Challenge
