Скачать или смотреть The Wish Tree | An Olive the Reading Beagle Read Aloud 🌳✨

In The Wish Tree by Kyo Maclear, a young boy named Charles sets out to find a special tree where wishes are tied to its branches. Along the way, he stops to help animals he meets—a squirrel, a fox, a badger—putting their needs before his own. When Charles grows too tired to continue, those same animals return the kindness by pulling him on his toboggan to the wish tree, where he finally makes his wish and shares a quiet night feast with his new friends.

We love The Wish Tree because it gently reminds readers that wishes aren’t only about what we hope to receive, but about how we care for others along the way. With lyrical text and soft, expressive illustrations, this story feels especially meaningful as the New Year approaches—inviting families to slow down, reflect, and notice how kindness has a way of coming back to us.

This read aloud is perfect for conversations about empathy, generosity, and the idea that helping others can be just as powerful as making a wish for ourselves.
