'A Wish Come True' by Kolet Janssen & Emy Geyskens with illustrations by Emilie Timmermans is a story about a bed bound young boy and a dream day he has when his wish comes true.

Mark is in the hospital and he has to stay there. He gets cards and letters from his friends, but they can't visit him because he is so sick. One day, he is visited by some wish fairies who help Mark to make a special wish. Mark gets to spend a day catching bad guys and being tough thanks to the local police and fire departments.

The book is about someone going through the Make-A-Wish program. There is some information about the program at the end of the book. I think this picture book would be good for a kid who gets to have a wish, and maybe for other young readers who might like to learn about such a program. The book is a bit wordy for young listeners, but the illustrations are fun.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Clavis Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Okay, I was tearing up at this book. Not an outright cry, but I am definitly foggy. This is a story of a little boy getting his wish through the Make-a-wish foundation. All we know is that the boy is sick. We don’t know (something with the blood) or life expectancy, just that the wish fairies are going to give him a great day. Awesome story.
