The Wish Tree

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with patience or when you want to gently introduce the idea that being helpful is its own form of magic. The Wish Tree follows a boy named Charles and his toboggan, Boggan, on a snowy quest to find a mythical tree. While Charles is focused on his own goal, he repeatedly pauses to help forest animals in need. This story beautifully illustrates that the 'magic' we seek in the world is often the result of the kindness we put into it. It is an ideal winter read for children aged 3 to 6, offering a cozy and contemplative atmosphere that rewards empathy and perseverance.
