About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A parent and child awoke to a beautiful red/orange wishing tree on their lawn. Their double wishes joined as they journeyed through a poetic world of possibilities.The young boy wants to fly, and up he, his dog and his mother went flying high over the wishing tree. They flew over the water where dolphins play, and to a carnival where a rabbit in a basket has the opportunity to travel as well.There were bears, butterflies and large, beautiful sunflowers. And, as the day ended, the silly sleep head of the boy was wishing to be back in his bed. Before that occurred, he was transported there with huge colored balloons!Nancy Tillman's children's books are well-known and given at baby showers to welcome a brand new world of a baby and all that awaits.
