We woke up in the usual way,
but it was not a usual day.
Out on the lawn, plain as could be,
stood an orange wishing tree.
I wish! I said. I wish! said you.
And so our double wishes grew.
Wishes are a magical part of childhood. Whether we wish on stars or blow
out candles on a cake, our dreams matter. Nancy Tillman captures the
wonder of wishes as only she can, with love.
