On this episode of Our American Stories, for years, Winter Prosapio couldn't stand The Giving Tree. She saw it as the story of a tree that gave everything to someone who never seemed to appreciate it. Then she became a mother.

In this heartfelt reflection, Winter shares how raising two daughters transformed the way she understood Shel Silverstein's classic. Along the way, she discovered that giving, like gratitude, isn't something we're born knowing. It's something we learn.
