A wish shared between father and daughter

In this 56-page picture book, Rebecca Stead brings together an honest wish, the courage to say it aloud, and the imagination to give it life. Change and the bond between a daughter and her father are central to the publisher’s description, which also frames the story as a tale about wishing. The short format makes it a compact family story for a shared reading moment.
