Review Detail

Birdie doesn't like the same things the other kids like so often feels left out. She would prefer to read a book over playing outside. Deep down she wishes she could meet a friend who is more like her. So, she makes a wish with her whole heart on a wishing flower. To her surprise, it comes true when Sunny arrives at her school and they start doing everything together.

THE WISHING FLOWER is a story about two girls who are unlike the others and bond over those differences. It's about how every child needs a friend no matter how hard it is for them to make one. The illustrations are simple and have a watercolor style to them. This story teaches about acceptance and a child's self-esteem while showing them they aren't alone.
