On a night of escape, wishes help these refugees through sadness and storms. What wish will help you make it to tomorrow?
Simple text highlighted by emotion-filled illustrations invite readers to join the fear-driven refugees on their journey to a hope-filled dawn. Their relief is nearly tangible as readers let themselves be drawn into the story and put themselves in the characters’ shoes. I loved it. Everything about this book is beautiful.
