I Wish I Was Tall like Willie

32 pp. | Raven Tree | June, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-934960-50-9 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bonnie Adamson. In Strong, Willie envies the strength of his friend Manuel who, in Tall, wants Willie's height. Eventually, both boys realize they're okay just the way they are. The illustrations, though dated-looking, add gentle humor to the purposeful texts. Review covers these titles: I Wish I Was Strong like Manuel and I Wish I Was Tall like Willie.
