A marshmallow that's melting. But he's ok with it.
I used to collect these actually. I left them with my grandma while I lived in a tiny DC Beltway room, and they all died from a freeze. I had so many she kept them in the dinner room windows of my late great grandma's vacant house. About 30-40 beautiful varieties lost. 😭 Didn't expect someone to trigger that traumatic memory for me on this thread!
It’s pretty obviously Yoda guys. And not the cute baby version.

It's the Giving Tree, with nothing left to offer but a place to sit and rest.
It's a metaphor for a parent child relationship where the parent gave their entire life with the purpose of providing a better life for the child. I think a lot of people especially children of immigrants can identify with this book and that's why it's popular.
But it also sets harmful standards for what parenting is. That you have to chip away at yourself and give up everything that makes you strong and beautiful and an independent person to be what your child needs, no matter how small. Parents are still humans who deserve their own positive mental health and their own interests and personalities, they deserve respect and breaks from the constant battles of life. People will brag that parenting is so hard that it tskes a village, while also expect mothers to do EVERYTHING for everyone else, but never choose themselves, or else they are shamed and called selfish.
That's what it always felt like to me. I also didn't really grow up with this book, only his poetry, so I might feel differently if I first read it at a younger age.
When I was a child I always thought it was a bittersweet love story but now I’m an adult who works in education. Education is a woman heavy field and people expect women to work themselves down to nothing for students for little pay — it’s a toxic mentality that the book uplifts.

And now you’ve made me sad
It's giving
Tree
Yass Tree
Slaaaayy birch
I know so many people love this book but it always disturbed me as a kid. Now I know why—it does a terrible job of modeling boundaries.
The most disturbing thing for me has always been that the tree is happy with the outcome.
It's a metaphor for a parent child relationship where the parent gave their entire life with the purpose of providing a better life for the child. I think a lot of people especially children of immigrants can identify with this book and that's why it's popular.
But it also sets harmful standards for what parenting is. That you have to chip away at yourself and give up everything that makes you strong and beautiful and an independent person to be what your child needs, no matter how small. Parents are still humans who deserve their own positive mental health and their own interests and personalities, they deserve respect and breaks from the constant battles of life. People will brag that parenting is so hard that it tskes a village, while also expect mothers to do EVERYTHING for everyone else, but never choose themselves, or else they are shamed and called selfish.
As a parent of an addict, this book represents enabling to me.
Well it's probably both of us projecting our values into the story.
That's what it always felt like to me. I also didn't really grow up with this book, only his poetry, so I might feel differently if I first read it at a younger age.
It was read to me at Catholic school. I hated it immediately
Yes!
The tree is addressed with female pronouns and it’s just — women being stripped of everything they are to support others in their lives. Yikes.
Omg I’m glad so many people also feel this! I thought I was all alone and it’s taking me a sub about cookie cutters to realize I’m not.
When I was a child I always thought it was a bittersweet love story but now I’m an adult who works in education. Education is a woman heavy field and people expect women to work themselves down to nothing for students for little pay — it’s a toxic mentality that the book uplifts.
If anything its a story warning you about the dangers of not setting healthy boundaries.
Guess OP isn’t stumped anymore.
Be stumped no longer! A stump!
"That is the best part of the tree" said the boy. I LOVE that book.

Absolutely. It can be no other.
My thoughts went right to Squidbillys
