Billy didn't mean for things to go that far.

Three months ago, he made a choice he can't stop thinking about. He hurt someone-someone important-and even though life has moved on, the memory hasn't. The guilt lingers in quiet moments.

Then Billy remembers something simple but powerful: when you've done wrong, you say you're sorry.

What happens next changes everything.

The Wish is a thoughtful and emotionally resonant picture book about regret, courage, and the healing power of forgiveness. Through gentle storytelling and expressive illustrations, young readers see that everyone makes mistakes-but what matters most is what we do next.

Perfect for:

• Children ages 5-8
• Parents and grandparents guiding conversations about kindness
• Classrooms teaching social-emotional learning
• Families who value character development and grace

Tender, relatable, and hopeful, The Wish reminds children that even small hearts can make brave choices-and that it's never too late to make things right.
