Carmela Full of Wishes

<p><strong>An Instant <em>New York Times</em> Bestseller!</strong></p> <p><strong>In their first collaboration since the Newbery Medal and Caldecott Honor-winning <em>Last Stop on Market Street</em>, Matt de la Pe&ntilde;a and Christian Robinson deliver a poignant and timely new picture book that's sure to be an instant classic.</strong></p> <p>When Carmela wakes up on her birthday, her wish has already come true--she's finally old enough to join her big brother as he does the family errands. Together, they travel through their neighborhood, past the crowded bus stop, the fenced-off repair shop, and the panader&iacute;a, until they arrive at the Laundromat, where Carmela finds a lone dandelion growing in the pavement. But before she can blow its white fluff away, her brother tells her she has to make a wish. If only she can think of just the right wish to make . . .</p> <p>With lyrical, stirring text and stunning, evocative artwork, Matt de la Pe&ntilde;a and Christian Robinson have crafted a moving ode to family, to dreamers, and to finding hope in the most unexpected places.</p>
