In the grass, a girl finds an extraordinary thing that gives her…just…one…wish.
She asks her those around her what they would wish for in her shoes, but nothing seems quite right. What will her perfect wish be? In this pitch-perfect picture book, Lisa Mantchev takes the concept of a magic wish and uses it to explore real world empathy, kindness, and good will.
Questions:
- What does the girl find in the grass
- What were some of her ideas for things to wish for?
- Why it was so hard to think of one perfect wish?
- What happens when she asks other people what they would wish for?
- Did she realize how much she had?
- What did she wish for?
- How did the girl feel after she saw how her wish came true?
Activity: Choose a cut-out of a star which has a food pantry “wish” on it. Draw a picture of the item and then bring it home to bring back the item for the food pantry.
