Reviews
"You will be Wishing... that there were more pages to this book. Readers take a flight of whimsical fantasy as author Tiller tickles the imagination. Shades of real connect with the surreal in Debrah Santini's rich illustrations. . . . Read it with a special youngster and add your own dreams." Richmond Times-Dispatch "While advertised as a children’s book, Wishing proves insightful, poetic, and entertaining enough for adults as well. . . . A great read for the child in everyone." Small Press
