Praise

“Luthardt sends his direct storytelling out with gentle, happy illustrations, enclosing characteristic emotional content in the package. . . This is a colorful, seamless blend of simple sentiment mixed with happy intent putting a stamp on why we should continue to use the post office for more than just junk mail.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Whimsical characters in vibrant colors fill the artwork. . . This fun read-aloud will charm children.”—School Library Journal

“The gouache and acrylic pictures-of round-headed characters, blocky houses and green shrubbery-keep the simple message at the forefront, and Lacey’s unadorned card demonstrates how anyone can make a small, thoughtful gesture to a friend.”—Publishers Weekly

“The unusual art (nicely sized for small-group sharing), and the idea of wishes fulfilled can’t help but leave little ones with a warm, happy feeling themselves.”—Booklist
