Illustrations. n nA special edition for adults of Katherine Applegate's New York Times-bestselling novel about an oak tree and a crow who help their neighbors embrace their differences. n nTrees can't tell jokes, but they can certainly tell stories. . . .n nRed is an oak tree who is many rings old. Red is the neighborhood wishtree--people write their wishes on pieces of cloth and tie them to Red's branches.

Along with a crow named Bongo and other animals who seek refuge in Red's hollows, this wishtree watches over the neighborhood.n nWhen a new family moves in, not everyone is welcoming, and Red's experience as a wishtree is more important than ever. With a message of inclusion for dreamers and welcomers, this is a book for our lives and times. n nA beautifully written, morally bracing story that will leave its imprint on a reader of any age. --The New York Times Book Reviewn
