1.  The Giving Tree (Indoor Winds)

The Giving Tree is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein. First published in 1964 by Harper & Row, it has become one of Silverstein's best known titles and has been translated into numerous languages. There are two ways to interpret the book: whether the relationship between the main characters (a boy and a tree) should be interpreted as positive or as negativeAs per Jeff Chambers, “The show is very melody driven and fantastic for visual story telling”. You may choose to use the illustrations from the book for your inspiration (remember to check into copyright laws) or simply use the idea of being in nature for your designs. The music lends itself to a variety of looks from whimsical to modern to famous paintings of landscapes.
