The Wish Trees children’s book is 100% tree-free!
"I love this book. I love the warmth of the illustrations, I love the language of the book and I love the feeling I have when reading it." — Heather Feldstein, founder of WordsByMom, a showcase of modern children’s books.
The Wish Trees was re-released on Kindle in 2020 so now the book is 100% tree-free!
Right now, Andrea has chosen to stop selling the paperback copies on Amazon. If you see them for sale on Amazon, they are being sold by third parties that the author do not know.
Children need books about trees, now more than ever
Inspiring and uplifting, The Wish Trees is rooted in the idea that every child can help make the world a better place.
Pre-readers and early readers will love turning the pages of this environmental storybook to reveal children from around the globe planting Wish Trees and making wishes. Kids will discover the wonder of trees and enjoy searching for different animals and signs with each new page. Soulful, empowering and beautifully written by Canadian writer Andrea Koehle Jones.
The Wish Trees features adorable and engaging illustrations by talented Venezuelan children’s book illustrator Alicia Padrón.
No trees were hurt making this book and a portion of the author's profits is donated to children's environmental education programs. 💚
