Once Upon a Wish - Softcover

"This magical read about a wish-granting boy weaves a dreamlike tale of dragons and midnight feasts, sure to delight even the smallest of readers. After all, who doesn't have a wish they would like to come true?" —Baby London

"Amy Sparkes’ brilliant to read aloud rhyming verses mixed with Sara Ogilvie’s sparklingly gorgeous, richly and humorously detailed, glowing illustrations make for a magic mix all of their own: sheer delight from cover to cover. If you’ve ever forgotten to thank, or overlooked saying, thank you to anybody, I urge you to get hold of a copy of this one and send it to them forthwith; actually buy a copy no matter what; you’ll surely find someone or many, to share its enchantments." —Jillrbennett, jillrbennett.wordpress.com

"Swathes of lapis-lazuli blue shimmering with a dusting of magic wrap readers up in rhyming delight and fairy-tale enchantment in Amy Sparkes (@AmySparkes) and Sara Ogilvie‘s Once Upon a Wish, a truly lovely, imaginative and heart-warming tale about the value of friendship . . . . Sparkes’ sparkling story flows with a sunny rhythm and bounce, making it a real pleasure to read aloud . . . . Ogilvie’s illustrations perfectly balance charm and quirkiness, drawing out the warmth of the story without ever becoming saccharine. I’m pleased to see that the wishgiver’s new friend has dark skin; this is a rare book which manages to bring much needed gender and race diversity gently and so naturally into storytime, whilst also delivering a subtle message about the power of thankfulness." —Zoe, playingbythebook.net
