From the author of the bestselling BabyLit series, Jennifer Adams, comes a lyrical and empowering picture book about the many ways children can make a wish and how they can make their wishes—even the tough ones—come true

You can make a wish on many things: on a star, on a penny, or by blowing out the candles of your cake. Some wishes are easy but some are hard, like wishing people would be kind to each other or that your grandparent isn’t sick. But by taking action, we can make even the hardest wishes come true.

This mindful, warm text from author Jennifer Adams paired with the upbeat, bold art of Sara Gillingham shows the many ways we can help along even our toughest wishes.

Format: Hardcover
