“An Apple tree lived in the world … and she loved a little boy” — this is how a touching fairy tale-parable begins about the gift of selfless love, giving oneself completely and asking nothing in return. It was composed and drawn by Shel Silverstein (1932-1999), familiar to the Russian reader from the book Lafcadio. An amazing story of a brave lion who defeated the hunters” (Inostranka, 2006). Shel Silverstein is not only a children’s writer — he became famous as a composer, poet, playwright and screenwriter; no wonder he was called the «Renaissance Man»! But he was also a master of drawing — funny and graceful. His books have been translated into 30 languages and he has been awarded the Children’s Choice Award by the International Reading Association.
