My Wish for the World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780316433150)

Longlisted for the Green Earth Book Award

For fans of The Invisible String and I Wish You More, this hopeful picture book follows a mother and son at bedtime as they dream of a better world by wishing for kindness, community, and helpfulness.

At bedtime, a child asks his mother what it is that she wishes for. She has many wishes--to respect nature and the earth, to give shelter to those in need, to lend a helping hand. No matter her wish, one thing is clear: there are lots of ways to show and encourage kindness.

With gentle rhyme and lyricism, this loving read aloud delivers a comforting message about the role kindness plays in our everyday lives. It's a gentle reminder that our wishes, when put into action, can help improve the world.

Perfect for:
- Parents, grandparents, and educators--this is a great conversation starter!
- Gift givers in search of heartfelt and hopeful books about world peace
- Readers who want to discuss the impactful ways children can help make the world a better place

"A lovely book; these messages will make children aware that simple acts can make a big difference for everyone." --School Library Journal
