Make A Wish Foundation: My Wish Journey
Make a Wish FoundationA wish isn’t just a fun day out, it’s a life-changing experience for a child facing critical illness. Often times, children wish for the familiar os expected, but Make A Wish wanted to offer children a guide that allowed them to wish deeper. Along side my husband (an amazing creative director) we built this! A colorful, illustrated guide that helps kids (and their families) explore their hopes, ideas, and imagination. This book allows recipients of Make a Wish to explore what they really want and spark meaningful conversations and inspire more personal, powerful wishes.
