With new life comes infinite possibility in this companion to Wish and Hope, by Caldecott Award-winner Matthew Cordell.

In this stunning picture book, a gorilla family celebrates their young child by dreaming of everything their baby will encounter, who he will be, and what dreams he will eventually have. The simple but touching story perfectly expresses the emotions that parents often find difficult to put into words.
