I would never have made the connection on my own. 'The Giving Tree' is one of my favorites. My first wife bought it for me as a gift in 1983. I have read some of the others to my kids as well. What a man!

I never knew he wrote anything BUT children's books for years! A lot of celebrities seem to try their hand at children's literature. I recently heard Julie Andrews being interviewed and mentioning her many books on Dumpy the Dump Truck. I think she is a goddess and I bet her books are good. Jamie Lee Curtis, Lynn Cheney, Will Smith, John Lithgow... Shaquille O'Neal rewrote nursery stories-- as in Shaq and the Three Bears- yeah- like any bear would mess with him. Madonna.... ah. I am afraid to ask what Madonna's book is about. But I did find this quote by her talking about reading to her own child: I couldn't believe how vapid and vacant and empty all the stories were. There's, like, no lessons. ... There's, like, no books about anything. Doesn't that make you want to, like, go out and, like, but her book?
