E1: Dad's on Books- The Giving Tree
Download MP3Welcome to the inaugural episode of our podcast where we delve into the world of children's books that resonate with both our kids and their adults! In this episode, hosts Mike Walker and David Patrick kick things off by discussing the classic, "The Giving Tree"
Why did we choose "The Giving Tree" as our first book? Mostly because we remember it fondly and a personal connection: Mike and Kim had gifted David a French edition, "L'Arbre Generaux," years ago. We explore the difficulty finding our books and dug into the art and some of the controversy that Mike found while researching the book online. Both Mike and David discuss how their understanding of the book has changed since they were children. They consider how becoming parents has further shaped their perspectives.
Next Up: David announces the next pick for the podcast: "Olivia Helps with Christmas" by Ian Falconer .
Tune in next time for more book discussions!
