Review
Husband and wife team collaborate using their daughter as the protagonist in the Wish series.
The photos are stunning, pictures of Anja in the mountains. Per has worked for National Geographic, The New York Times magazine, and Audubon. He grew up in a small town mountain home in Al, Norway.
Mom is the author of the Anja family fairy tales.
This story is about playing hide and seek with her cousins. Her favorite goat keeps giving her hiding place away because he won't hide he just follows her. Anja wishes she was small and she becomes so tiny that she can ride on birds. She can ride on the fetlock of the cousin's horse. Anja takes a pinecone jump through the air over a log with a snail. Animals help her throughout the story. At the end of the story there is a small twist...
Overall Book Score: excellent
