Gothic theme

The second person I chose to connect with to discuss my Signature themes is my mother, Lynda, who also agrees with all five themes assigned to me.

He is mostly known for his children books including the popular, The Giving Tree and Where the Sidewalk Ends. Surprisingly, Shel Silverstein did not always care for children literature.
