Jeanne Betancourt is the author of Ava Tree and the Wishes Three (illustrated by Angela Dominguez)--a charming story about a girl named Ava who makes a wish on her birthday, and it comes true! Can she make a wish to undo the saddest thing in her life so far?
Jeanne recently visited the Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport, New York, and the Oyster Ponds Elementary School in Orient, New York, to read Ava Tree and discuss wishes with the students.
There, the children came up with their own wishes, and developed their own illustrations for the book. You can read more about it at Jeanne's blog. See this post for the artwork.
