爱心树

一直都非常喜欢绘本创作但却总是碍于昂贵的书价而却步，绘本对幼儿绝对是首选，最近在积极搜索适合宝宝的读物绘本，但宝宝还小合适的童书绘本其实不多，反而是在觅书的过程当中自己却对本本插画精美、动人的故事深深着迷。。。

最近读到的《爱心树》- 一个简单但却寓意深厚的故事就这么轻易的征服了我的心，读着读着眼泪不禁自觉地淌下……

我相信每个读到的孩子或大人都会被大树那深深无私的爱和奉献打动，特别值得推荐给爸爸妈妈们。

从前有一棵大树……

它喜欢上一个男孩儿。

男孩儿每天会跑到树下

采集树叶，

给自己做王冠，

想像自己就是森林之王……


决定等宝宝懂事后要念给他听！

在网上听到谢尔·希尔弗斯坦演唱听爱心树的歌，平静中略带淡淡的忧伤很让人陶醉……


《爱心树》歌词

The Giving Tree
Once there was a giving tree who loved a little boy
And everyday the boy would come to play
Swinging from her branches sleeping in her shade
Laughing all the summer hours away
And so they loved and oh the tree was happy
Oh the tree was glad

But soon the boy grew older one day he came and said
Can you give me some money, tree
To buy something I’ve found
I have no money said the tree
Just apples, twigs and leaves
But you can take my apples, boy
And sell them in the town
And so he did and oh the tree was happy
Oh the tree was glad

But soon again the boy came back and he said to the tree
I’m now a man and I must have a house that’s all my own
I can’t give you a house she said
The forest is my house
But you may cut my branches off and build yourself a home
And so he did and oh the tree was happy
Oh the tree was glad

And time went by and the boy came back with sadness in his eyes
My life has turned so cold he said I need sunny days
I’ve nothing but my trunk she said
But you may cut it down
And build yourself a boat and sail away
And so he did and oh the tree was happy
Oh the tree was glad

And after years the boy came back both of them were old
I really cannot help you if you ask for another gift
I’m nothing but an old stump now
I’m sorry boy she said
I’m sorry but I’ve nothing more to give
I do not need very much now just a quiet place to rest
The boy, who whispered with a weary smile
Well said the tree an old stump is still good for that
Come boy she said sit down
Sit down and rest a while
And so he did and oh the tree was happy

Oh the tree was glad
