If you say you didn't cry, then you're a liar.
I'm about to cry just thinking about this book. It's a classic, but the ending is what really gets you. A boy goes to the same tree over and over, asking for things like apples, shade, and, eventually, the tree itself to build a boat. When the boy returns as an old man, the tree stump replies that it has nothing left to give except its stump as a seat. The tree loved the boy so much that it gave everything it had, which is a heavier ending than I expected as a kid.
My mom used to cry reading this book to me, which is understandable because it's about the circle of life. Molly first learns about death through her grandpa when she finds a butterfly that has died in the garden. When Molly's grandpa dies, she goes to the garden to talk to her grandpa even though he isn't here anymore. It's a tender way to teach kids about death, but that doesn't mean it's not sad as hell.
This is a gentle book that takes a look at divorce through a child's eyes, and it will certainly make you feel all the emotions. Casey doesn't understand why her parents fight so much. Then her mother tells Casey that her father won't live with them anymore. While it's a teachable moment for young kids, it's a heartbreaking look at what happens when two people fall out of love.
