What do you wish for? Third graders who read Ava Tree and the Wishes Three answer that question. Their sometimes comical and always sincere wishes reveal the magic and poignancy of childhood. Watch, too, for the murals they made illustrating their wishes.

This video is my daughter and son-in-law’s response to my birthday wish for a video to celebrate Ava Tree and the Wishes Three. Nicole Betancourt is a filmmaker with her own company Parent Earth and Bray Poor is a musician who designs sound for plays.

Send your wishes and I will post some in a future blog. Be sure to include your name and age.
