You and Me and the Wishing Tree

<p><i>We woke up in the usual way, </i><br><i>but it was </i>not<i> a usual day.</i><br><i>Out on the lawn, plain as could be, </i><br><i>stood an orange wishing tree.</i><br><i>&quot;I wish!&quot; I said. &quot;I wish!&quot; said you.</i><br><i>And so our double wishes grew.</i> </p><p> 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.</p>
