I Wish Tonight

A little boy pulls the covers up under his chin-and at that, trees grow up at the foot of his bed, his quilt becomes a sail, and a soaring dream of a book sweeps forward. In lilting rhythmic language, that moves in step with buoyant, swaying images, the dream furnishes the child-and all readers of this book-with hope for mending and healing and cooperating. Free of do-good words and pictures, I Wish Tonight opens minds and hearts. A wistful child dares to imagine cooperative gardening, restored friendships, revived cities-always enveloped in fun and adventure. The book's language is that of a child. Its collages are of sun-powered colors. The dream it stirs is both mystical and temptingly near.Rock, Lois is the author of 'I Wish Tonight' with ISBN 9781561484041 and ISBN 1561484040.
