Shel Silverstein (1930 -1999) was an American writer, poet,
cartoonist, singer-songwriter, musician and playwright.
His incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and

Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books,
including the perennial favourite The Giving Tree, as well as
classic poetry collections, such as Where the Sidewalk Ends and A
Light in the Attic.
"If you're looking for a children's book that teaches generosity or unselfishness, most people will point you right to The Giving Tree, Shel Silverstein's lovely story of a tree that will do anything for the boy it loves--and for good reason. This classic is always a good place to start." -- Brightly
