It Took Two Wishes

Illustrated by Irena Freitas
Count down to party time together with this sweet and whimsical birthday story about one girl and the power of wishes that come true in unexpected ways.

It took twelve moons, four seasons, and countless sleeps... but I waited. For candles and cake and the most perfect birthday.

But what happens when the perfect birthday doesn't turn out the way you planned?

In this heartwarming celebration of birthdays and new (furry) friends, count along as one birthday party in the park becomes so much more -- the reunification of lost friends, and the joy that comes with making new ones. Then, just maybe, one birthday wish come true will become two.
Edwina Wyatt is an Australian children's author. She grew up in Sydney and worked as a lawyer and a high school teacher before becoming a writer of books for young readers. Edwina lives in the Victorian High Country with her husband, two children, a dog and two chickens.
