Eager to read for myself and join in the hype and love for this title!

Don't let this book fly under your 2024 radar due to its publication date later in the year. An exquisite gem- in both the sparse words and detailed illustrations.

I don't think Barbara O'Connor is on this platform (yet)... but on her FB profile today, she shared her Aug '25 release- DREAM - A companion to her book, WISH (which is my favorite of hers). I am stoked about this one! You can pre-order already!
