I Wish I Were You

When Lucas stumbles across a magic stick one day, he discovers that the special powers of the stick can make wishes come true. Lucas uses the stick for the benefit of his friends, and experiences the joy of sharing, but also learns an important lesson along the way. For children 2-8 years of age, this is the first in a series of stories told by Lucas, a six year old Caribbean child. Typical of today's children, Lucas is caught between the land of TV, ipads and reality, and his active imagination carries us into a tropical jungle, in this first adventure. The story tells a tale of friendship, generosity, and gratitude, and recounts the simple joys of being a child through rhythmic prose and beautiful, quirky illustrations. This is a book that your young children will love to have read to them, and one which they too can start reading themselves in their Early Reader years.
