No, lawsuit worries still. He hasn’t been dead long enough to fall into public domain.
Even then, I doubt the title holder would allow something that popular fall into the public domain.

Is it just me or does daddy tree her looks like they are expecting?
Of course, nothing says ‘professional’ like crayon, but this one goes even further and somehow manages to be a badly drawn bad drawing. Quite an achievement really.
Pencil crayons, crayons, and felt markers tend to get a bad wrap, but once you see someone who knows how to use them your perceptions of them get instantly changed forever.
(If the white crayon in your art supplies isn’t the first one you need to replace, you are using them wrong.)
It is no different than Photoshop. Artists that really know how to use photoshop can really make beautiful Art. ‘Artists’ that don’t know how to use Photoshop make ‘art’ that show up here.

Actually, considering that this is a children’s book, having this cover look like children’s art for a refrigerator is somewhat appropriate.
If you’re going to show a children’s drawing done in crayon, though, you should draw the author and book title on the cover the same way. The computer font’s precision clashes horribly with the (probably deliberate) crudeness of the art on the cover.
Good heavens… this image completely disrespects the audience.
The Giving Tree got fan fictioned?
LOL! 🙂

It’s not the medium, it’s what you do with it:

WOW! Beautiful.
I’m happy to stand corrected. Beautiful work indeed!

Conifers are pollinated by the wind. Well, at least normal ones are. Who knows how ones with faces do it?
*They do it face-to-face? 🙂
*The way God intended.
