I Wish

A wrapped present. A curious young girl. A whole wide world of possibility. What would you wish for? From internationally renowned artist and designer Christoph Niemann, I wish is a universal and timeless celebration of anticipation and the limitless power of the imagination. I wish will inspire fans of Kobi Yamada's What Do You Do with an Idea? and Suzy Lee's Wave.

When a young girl finds a wrapped present, she wonders what's inside. In her imagination, the gift becomes anything she's ever wished for: a fashionable pair of shoes, a pony to ride, and even wings to help her fly. As the girl's anticipation expands and her imagination soars, so does the gift's ability to surprise her and to transform itself into even greater and more meaningful things.

Using an appealing limited color palette and wordless pages, award-winning artist Christoph Niemann challenges readers to think, laugh, imagine, and embrace the possibilities. I wish is an elegant and unique gift for any occasion and invites sharing and repeated readings. A must-have for readers of all ages.
