| Publisher Description: "Directly personal and visually dramatic."--Booklist "Carries a deeper and more important message about considering others' circumstances in light of one's own privileges that many kids may benefit from hearing." --BCCB "A satisfying storytime read-aloud about the gift of giving and sharing." --School Library Journal From the author of Strictly No Elephants comes a sweet picture book that explores themes of selflessness and empathy when a girl has the chance to make just one wish. In the grass, a girl finds an extraordinary thing that gives her...just...one...wish. She asks her those around her what they would wish for in her shoes, but nothing seems quite right. What will her perfect wish be? In this pitch-perfect picture book, Lisa Mantchev takes the concept of a magic wish and uses it to explore real world empathy, kindness, and good will. |
