It’s a snow day but Charles isn’t interested in building snowmen, throwing snowballs or making snow angels, he has something far more important do. He wants to find a wish tree. His brother and sister are certain that they don’t exist but Charles knows otherwise. So, along with his sleigh Boggan, he sets out into the wintry woods to see what he can find. Up hill they climb and down hill they slide. There are plenty of animals in the woods but where is the wish tree… The Wish Tree is a gentle and touching snowy day adventure that sparkles with magic and wonder as wishes really do come true. Lyrically told, beautifully illustrated and with instantly accessible messages around kindness, helping others, selfless good deeds and friendship, it is perfect for snuggling up with. Forget the cold weather, this will melt away the chills and leave you with the warm and fuzzies. Charles is such a sweetie and, with Boggan by his side, he breezes through the pages with a smile on his face enjoying every moment of his day. Boggan too is a delight, with a string for a smile and two cut-outs for eyes, the inanimate object has a personality all of its own. Their exploits and actions are sure to inspire outdoor adventures and wishes to help squirrels store nuts, beavers collect wood and foxes gather berries. Delicate and delightful, Kyo and Chris sow the seeds for wish trees everywhere. A gorgeous story for teaching children about the kindness that we all need to offer.
