Longlisted for the Green Earth Book Award
For fans of The Invisible String and I Wish You More, this hopeful picture book follows a mother and son at bedtime as they dream of a better world by wishing for kindness, community, and helpfulness. At bedtime, a child asks his mother what it is that she wishes for. She has many wishes--to respect nature and the earth, to give shelter to those in need, to lend a helping hand. No matter her wish, one thing is clear: there are lots of ways to show and encourage kindness. With gentle rhyme and lyricism, this loving read aloud delivers a comforting message about the role kindness plays in our everyday lives. It's a gentle reminder that our wishes, when put into action, can help improve the world. Perfect for:- Parents, grandparents, and educators--this is a great conversation starter!
