Can you tell this is my childhood copy of The Giving Tree?
This is another one of those picture books I was shocked to see banned. What could possibly be "wrong" with such a sweet classic like The Giving Tree?
Some people think the book is sexist, because the boy is always taking from the female tree without giving anything back.
Oh...kay...
It also "criminalized the foresting agency". Really? It's a picture book! I know a lot of picture books have deeper themes and can really resonate with you, but I never would have thought that about this book!
