You and Me and the Wishing Tree

Bought this to go with a baby shower gift for a baby girl who was arriving after a long journey trying to conceive. Paired it with a Unicorn baby toy plush with sensory tag-type things, a unicorn rattle from the store with the red bullseye logo. Added a pink fluffy throw and a few adorable outfits and tied them all together with a ribbon in a stack. It was so adorable. I love this author and the illustrations in her books as they are so vivid and they portray and ignite such imagination... I did want to hear the "flow" of the book though so I looked up videos online to make sure it would be completely appropriate. As with most Nancy Tillman books, I cried - that's when I know how amazing they are. I started collecting several of them for my daughters when they were little but she has put out many more since then. After reading and purchasing this one, I will definitely plan to buy three more copies - one for each of my daughters. They are now 12, 10 and 8. To be honest, I haven't been able to read most of her books aloud to then because I find them so moving and so meaningful, I start choking up and bawling. Lol

Absolutely LOVE this book. We are big Tillman fans in this house (we have 6 or 7 of her books so far) and this one was not a let down at all. In fact, it jumped nearly to the top of my list. Illustrations are perfect, as always, and the plot was adorable, too: Mom and child wake up to find a "wishing tree" in the front yard, so the child wastes no time making wishes. Each page shows what the 2 (and their dog) do during the day based on child's wishes, until it is night and the child gets tired, then the sweetness comes in. "So I did what parents do - I picked you up and carried you." Mom returns child to bed and just before he falls asleep, he asks what wish mom made, to which she replies that her only wish was to be with him. Almost makes me cry each time I read it. LOVED IT!!!

Love this book gave with baby shower gift

Another great book to read to our LO. We love these board books.

This is our second Nancy Tillman book, and won't be our last. My children were gifted their first as a Christmas gift a few years ago, and it is still a favorite. You and Me and the Wishing Tree was a gift for our daughter (3) from the Easter Bunny. She was enchanted immediately by the beautiful cover, and we weren't disappointed a bit once we sat down and read. It's now in the rotation for bed time stories and is loved by both my daughter and her 4 year old brother. Great illustration and lovely stories. These will be books you will save for your grandchildren etc. Definetly worth every penny!

I love every book by this author. The writing and illustrations take you to a magical place. My daughter is 7 and we've been reading these books since she was a baby, still her favorite!

We love ALL Nancy Tillman's books and this newest addition to our collection did not disappoint. I have been reading the board books to my daughter since she was an infant and they are now her favorite to read at bedtime (she is 2.5). Yes, the words are geared a little more for an older child (and definitely for parents), but even small babies and toddlers can understand the meaning. I give these as part of my gift at all baby showers!

I just love every single Nancy Tillman book. From the sweet and beautiful words to the mesmerizing illustrations, you can’t go wrong. But this one was especially sweet and definitely one of my very favorites. Yet another book that she knocked out of the park.

Love these books by Nancy Tillman. The board books especially are perfect for my young children. The messages are so inclusive and sweet. I think they are wonderful for children and adults alike. The illustrations are so whimsical and compelling. A perfect mix of magic. Strongly recommmend.

I first heard of the Nancy Tillman books from my partner who is a neonatal nurse. They have a few of them in the local neonatal ward, so I thought I'd buy a few for my little nephew and I'm so glad I did... they are now part of his bedtime routine and he falls asleep to what he calls his 'night night' books... I would highly reccommend this as well as 'on the night you were born' and 'it's time to sleep'... perfect for your little one or as a gift for a new parent.

Absolutely love this book !!!
