Learn the many ways children can make a wish and how they can make their wishes come true in If You Want to Make a Wish, by Jennifer Adams and Sara Gillingham.
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. —Synopsis provided by Harry N. Abrams
