Beautiful, thoughtful story

A child's improbable wish reveals his living, generous spirit in this simple, well-told story. My son and I had a lovely conversation afterward about what we would be if we could be anything.

One of the sweetest children's books I've read! Teaches children that they have the power to be whatever they want to be.
