The Wish Tree

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Turnham. Charles sets off with his trusty friend, Boggan (a sled), in search of a wish tree, helping woodland creatures along the way (e.g., hauling hazelnuts for Squirrel). Maclear's contemplative text emphasizes the sights and sounds on their woodland journey rather than Charles's motivation or mysterious wish. The digital illustrations use a muted palette of slate and rose to evoke a winter sunset.
