Three children are each granted a wish and eagerly hope their dreams will come true. When their wishes fail to bring the happiness they expected, they discover that worthwhile goals are achieved through effort, responsibility, and perseverance rather than magic alone. Based on a traditional folktale, the story offers a timeless lesson about earning what you value.
Nobel Prize–winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer draws on Jewish folklore and tradition in this beautifully illustrated tale of wishes, wonder, and learning that some things must be earned rather than simply wished for.
