Shel Silverstein Knihy

"Som presvedčený, že pán Silverstein túto knihu napísal na vnuknutie "zhora". Alebo musel mať poriadne šťastie. Ten, kto ju má, vlastní hodnotný poklad." Z komentára k španielskému vydaniu "Kúpil som túto knihu deťom, pretože v tomto jednoduchom podobenstve sa ukrýva vzácny odkaz. Strom, ktorý dáva ma znova vrátil do detstva." Jay Fisk o vydaní v hebrejčine "Som Čínanka a čítam túto knihu po čínsky. Je to dojímavý príbeh. Som matka a zvyknem ho čítať svojmu štvorročnému synovi, ktorý knihu zbožňuje. Hovorievam mu: ty si ten malý chlapec a ja chcem byť tým stromom, ktorý dáva. Budem ti pomáhať po celý život, keď to budeš potrebovať. A budem pritom šťastná." Zeng Čin

Oceňovaný autor Shel Silverstein (dielo Strom, ktorý dáva) sa v príbehu prihovára najmä detskému čitateľovi, ale nielen jemu. Metaforicky zobrazuje človeka a jeho púť za šťastím a úspechom. Príbeh sa snaží poukázať na to, že cesta býva často dôležitejšia a cennejšia ako samotný cieľ. Človek v honbe za šťastím a úspechom zabúda na krásu prítomného okamihu a vedie ho len túžba za tým, čo nemá. Paralelnou myšlienkou je aj uvedomenie si vlastnej hodnoty a identity. Kniha ponúka nielen literárny zážitok, ale dopĺňajú ju aj autorove jednoduché, ale výstižné ilustrácie.
