Nancy Tillman

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.

Shows how each of us fits into life's big picture, and how the world would be incomplete without each person in it.

Children feel the reassuring love of their parents no matter where they go or what they do.

Describes how Tumford the cat tests the patience of his parents by making loud and rude noises that compel a lesson in manners before company arrives.
