WOW: Wishes for the World
Have you ever blown out candles on a birthday to make a wish? What about wishing on a shooting star? Children all around the world make wishes, and so do we. Worlds of Words invited visitors to our Tucson Festival of Books booth to make wishes for the world. We used Wish: Wishing Traditions Around the World by Roseanne Thong with illustrations by Elisa Kleven to start our conversations.
This month, members of the WOW Advisory Board are revisiting the wishes made by the younger visitors to our booth and reflecting on the interconnectedness of traditions, stories, and people the world around. What are your wishes and wishing traditions? Join the conversation.
