NEWS FROM THE CCRC: The Warrior Library is celebrating Banned Books Week by reminding you of your right to read freely. Today’s featured book is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. This beloved story begins with the words, 'Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.' Beautifully written and illustrated, this parable explores the themes of selfless giving and love. The Giving Tree was banned from a public library in Colorado in 1988 for being considered sexist, as some readers believe the boy continuously takes from the female tree without giving anything in return.
