From the author of The One and Only Ivan comes the story of Red, an old oak tree, and the neighborhood “wishtree”. People in the neighborhood write their wishes and hopes on fabric and tie their wishes to Red. This is a tradition many years old. When a new family moves in and is unwelcomed, Red tries to bring the neighborhood together, even when the tree’s own life is threatened. (For Grades 3 and up.)

 

Before your city goes to sleep, you might head out for a walk, your dog at your side as you go out the door. Anything can happen on such a walk. One boy catches glimpses of the lives around him exploring his neighborhood in the almost-night.  Recommended for ages 4 and up.
