About the book: 2017 / The New York Times bestseller! This is an old oak tree. His name is Red. However, since ancient times it has been called the Wishing Tree. Every year on the first day of May, people tie scraps of paper and pieces of fabric to oak branches on which they write their wishes. Trees do not know how to tell jokes. What they do well is tell stories. But trees have a rule: never talk to people. One winter, a new family settled in a tiny blue house under the canopy of the branches of an old oak tree. One night a little girl tied a piece of paper to Red, on which was written: “I want me to have a friend.”…»
