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 her crow friend Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this "wishtree" watches over the neighborhood. You might say Red has seen it all. Until a new family moves in. Not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experiences as a wishtree are more important than ever.

0If there is one thing I am learning about Katherine Applegate’s writing, is that she knows just how to punch you in the feels.
This book was beautiful from start to finish. The simple story written to explain how ugly the world can be but also how beautiful it is at the same time was breathtaking. Applegate knows how to explain tough situations in a simple, yet heartfelt manner and this makes her work standout. I love how she wrote this from a trees point of view, that’s not something to come across normally and I enjoyed it. Beautiful work!
