I Wish - A journey of discovery for kids

In Shelissa Kearney's debut book, I WISH, the author crafts a beautiful story set on the islands of Hawaii weaving a tapestry of discovery for readers. After making a wish to the night sky, an apple and a pineapple find themselves in the most unlikely of places, a place they thought they wanted to be, only to discover that the grass is not always greener. This is a story for anyone, of any age, who has ever wished to be someone else. Along with illustrator M.E. Kedzierski, author Shelissa Kearney incorporates Hawaii's rare and critically endangered Palila bird, a snail, butterflies, a mongoose, native Hawaiian flora, and an apple and a pineapple in an unbelievable journey of discovery. I WISH with its lovable apple and pineapple characters resonates with readers of all ages.
