Michael Nye | 8 comments ***AUTHOR'S REQUEST TO PLEASE REMOVE QUOTE LISTED BELOW***

**Note: The quote comes from an anthology and not Naomi Shihab Nye. Please remove quote.**

"I never did understand
why the tree was still happy
at the end. The little boy
used her until she was
nothing but a stump.
She couldn't even run away.
But the ending was always the same:
"And the tree was happy."
— Naomi Shihab Nye (Time You Let Me In: 25 Poets under 25)

Emily | 17492 comments Who's the author? As mentioned in the other post, we would rather attribute it to the correct author than delete it. Also, please do not use all caps.

Emily | 17492 comments I figured out the author from the table of contents of the book.
It will take up to a couple days for the quote to go away from Naomi's author page.
