Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Rose feels alone in a new town. Everything is different and strange. She wishes, she searches, but sheâs not even sure what for. Then, from somewhere far away, someoneâor somethingâbegins a journey. And maybe, just maybe, Rose and the Wish Thing will find each other.
Â
In an enchanting and poetic narrative with achingly beautiful illustrations, Rose and the Wish Thing celebrates the power of imagination and resilience, even when things seem too hard. It is a story that will stay with readers long after the last page is turned.
âthe universal emotions of loneliness, longing, and ultimately joy at finding a new friend are conveyed through the beautifully combined line and wash illustrations and the lyrical prose. . . . A many-layered, imaginary friend story with themes of hope and resiliency.ââSchool Library Journal
âThis quirky, sidelong look at a common childhood experience will be just the thing for readers and listeners who enjoy a touch of whimsy and mystery.ââKirkus
âwill resonate with readers who have wished for a friend, whether real or imaginary.ââBooklist Â
âThe magic of belonging and friendship is woven powerfully into a moving affirmation of the power of love. The language of the text is exquisite, the visual story commanding.ââThe Childrenâs Book Council of Australia
From the Hardcover edition.
