Wishes by Muon Thi Van, illustrated by Victo Ngai. PICTURE BOOK. Orchard (Scholastic), May 2021. $19. 9781338305890
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL, MS, HS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A little girl and her family are preparing for the very dangerous ocean trip away from their imperilled lives and hopefully to a place where they can build a future.
78 words are supported by a beautiful muted palette. Each page is simple (The bag wished it was deeper), but filled with emotion, heart, and depth. Any level of school that talks about immigration and/or refugees in any capacity needs this to share far and wide.
Cindy, Middle School Librarian, MLS
