Wishtree

A special edition for adults of Katherine Applegate''s New York Times-bestselling novel about an oak tree and a crow who help their neighbors embrace their differences.

Trees can''t tell jokes, but they can certainly tell stories. . . .

Red is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood "wishtree"—people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red''s branches. Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red''s hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood.

When a new family moves in, not everyone is welcoming, and Red''s experience as a wishtree is more important than ever. With a message of inclusion for dreamers and welcomers, this is a book for our lives and times.

"A beautifully written, morally bracing story that will leave its imprint on a reader of any age." —The New York Times Book Review
