You and Me and the Wishing Tree Hardcover – Picture Book, September 6, 2016

Absolutely LOVE this book. We are big Tillman fans in this house (we have 6 or 7 of her books so far) and this one was not a let down at all. In fact, it jumped nearly to the top of my list. Illustrations are perfect, as always, and the plot was adorable, too: Mom and child wake up to find a "wishing tree" in the front yard, so the child wastes no time making wishes. Each page shows what the 2 (and their dog) do during the day based on child's wishes, until it is night and the child gets tired, then the sweetness comes in. "So I did what parents do - I picked you up and carried you." Mom returns child to bed and just before he falls asleep, he asks what wish mom made, to which she replies that her only wish was to be with him. Almost makes me cry each time I read it. LOVED IT!!!

We love ALL Nancy Tillman's books and this newest addition to our collection did not disappoint. I have been reading the board books to my daughter since she was an infant and they are now her favorite to read at bedtime (she is 2.5). Yes, the words are geared a little more for an older child (and definitely for parents), but even small babies and toddlers can understand the meaning. I give these as part of my gift at all baby showers!

This is our second Nancy Tillman book, and won't be our last. My children were gifted their first as a Christmas gift a few years ago, and it is still a favorite. You and Me and the Wishing Tree was a gift for our daughter (3) from the Easter Bunny. She was enchanted immediately by the beautiful cover, and we weren't disappointed a bit once we sat down and read. It's now in the rotation for bed time stories and is loved by both my daughter and her 4 year old brother. Great illustration and lovely stories. These will be books you will save for your grandchildren etc. Definetly worth every penny!

This is probably the only Nancy Tillman book I would buy or recommend. I have read a few of her other books at the library and bookstore and was not impressed. This is the only title I read that I liked enough to buy as a gift. I will buy copies of this title again for shower and Christmas gifts. (The illustrations in her books are very nice and enjoyable. It's the actual writing I didn't like. )

Beautiful illustrations. Not too long, nice pentameter to the rhymes, and very sweet, deep, and comforting messages. And that's saying a lot because I'm generally an emotionally calloused person. But one even got me choked up.

If I had to pick one author to read to my children for the rest of their life, I think it would be Nancy Tillman. The words are beautiful, the pictures are mesmerizing, and the books calm my children down so much before bedtime. These books make awesome gifts, also.

Love love love this author! I have almost all of her books. Super neat stories with beautiful illustrations. I’ll keep these books forever for my kids.

Beautiful. Only problem is that this book (and her others) make me sob. I purchased this as a gift for an acquaintance (my son's classmate) but it's so intimate I almost feel it's not appropriate so I'm going to keep it for another gift or keep it for my kids (ages 3.5, 2 and 0)

I first heard of the Nancy Tillman books from my partner who is a neonatal nurse. They have a few of them in the local neonatal ward, so I thought I'd buy a few for my little nephew and I'm so glad I did... they are now part of his bedtime routine and he falls asleep to what he calls his 'night night' books... I would highly reccommend this as well as 'on the night you were born' and 'it's time to sleep'... perfect for your little one or as a gift for a new parent.

Such a beautiful book with beautiful words, meanings and illustrations. One to treasure.

My baby is obsessed with this book and so am I!Love all Nancy Tillman books but this is one of my favourites

Always great books!

Such a gorgeous book. One to keep forever and pass down through to future generations. My daughter loves when I read this to her.
