USPS Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree"

USPS on 8 April 2022, in Chicago, IL, issued the Shel Silverstein stamp in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps. This issuance honoured Shel Silverstein (1930–1999), one of the 20th century’s most imaginative authors and illustrators. The stamp featured Silverstein’s drawing of a boy catching an apple, a version of which appears on the cover of his picture book "The Giving Tree", a story about a friendship between a motherly tree and a boy. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamp. A special colour postmark of the tree originated from Chicago, Illinois, dated 8 April 2022.
