A lyrical picture book and a moving reflection on immigration,
family and home.
Wishes tells the powerful, honest story about one Vietnamese
family's search for a new home on the other side of the world,
and the long-lasting and powerful impact that makes on the
littlest member of the family.
Inspired by actual events in the author's life, this is a narrative
that is both timely and timeless. Told through the eyes of
a young girl, the story chronicles a family's difficult and powerful

Wishes tells a powerful and timely story in a gentle
and approachable way for young children and their families. With
themes of kindness, bravery, hope, and love running throughout,
Wishes is a must-have book for every child's bookshelf.
