For fans of The Invisible String and I Wish You More, this hopeful picture book follows a mother and son at bedtime as they dream of a better world by wishing for kindness, community, and helpfulness. 


At bedtime, a child asks his mother what it is that she wishes for. She has many wishes—to respect nature and the earth, to give shelter to those in need, to lend a helping hand. No matter her wish, one thing is clear: there are lots of ways to show and encourage kindness.

With gentle rhyme and lyricism, this loving read aloud delivers a comforting message about the role kindness plays in our everyday lives. It’s a gentle reminder that our wishes, when put into action, can help improve the world.

Perfect for:
– Parents, grandparents, and educators—this is a great conversation starter!
– Gift givers in search of heartfelt and hopeful books about world peace
– Readers who want to discuss the impactful ways children can help make the world a better place

"A lovely book; these messages will make children aware that simple acts can make a big difference for everyone." —School Library Journal
