“The More You Give,” a new picture book by author Marcy Campbell, focuses on ideas around delayed gratification, kindness and family – a marked departure from themes of giving and taking that dominate the story in Silverstein’s 1964 classic.
Marcy Campbell's book "The More You Give" arrives on Tuesday, Aug. 2. WOOSTER, Ohio – Marcy Campbell penned her new book “The More You Give” in response to Shel Silverstein’s popular, divisive children’s book “The Giving Tree.”
Campbell didn’t read “The Giving Tree” until she was a new mother picking out books for her daughter, stumbling upon a copy at a garage sale. The idea clicked in Campbell’s head at a writing conference when a speaker mentioned a proverb: “Plant a tree that you’ll never see the shade of.”
