What I Hope for You - A Grandmother's Wishes

Jennifer Bonn

Synopsis

What I Hope for You is the story of a grandmother's life hopes for her grandchild: a combination of wishes for happiness, strong character and a life of excitement, blessings and an everyday feeling of magic. "What I Hope for You perfectly captures the joy and dreams of a grandmother for her young grandchild. Jen Bonn simply, vividly and sincerely expresses the hopes and wishes many of us have for our own grandchildren to become strong, loving and fulfilled in life. I will read this book many, many times to my own young grandson." -- Donna Wood, English teacher "What I Hope for You is a lovely book of a grandparent's prayer for her grandchild's future. It is filled with beautiful imagery of castles by lakes and meadows full of flowers. The author dreams of the child being around nature and sensing God's beauty in the world, but also of the child growing into an adult with beauty inside their heart." -- Kathy Bridges, librarian "I cannot say enough about What I Hope for You! I read it to my kids, and they loved it! It opened doors for wonderful questions and conversations. It is long enough to create a meaningful memory yet short enough to hold their attention. What wonderful affirmations to speak and pray over the ones we love the most!" -- Amber Faye Wardlaw, mother of three "As a grandmother of three, this book resonated with me, and it is exactly what I would wish for my grandchildren. The first time I read What I Hope for You, I remembered my time with my grandmother, and I realized that these were all wishes she had for me." --Kimberly Tucker, aircraft mechanic III-Gen-Mods

Tilted Sky

Yao Emei

Is it too much to ask for an ordinary, boring life? 
 
Bai Jian is a typical Chinese boy growing up in a big city. But his life is far from typical: his mother abandoned him when he was a baby, and his father, Hei Jian, is always out of work, always fighting with his long parade of girlfriends, always getting the two of them involved in some harebrained scheme. 
 
The latest idea involves spending every last dime they have putting Bai Jian up in a posh boarding school so that Hei Jian can leave, and pursue his dream of becoming a big-time movie director. All Bai Jian has ever wanted is a warm bed to sleep in, a safe place to return to at the end of the day, enough food to fill his belly … and a family who’s not just going to abandon him on a whim. 
 
He soon realizes: while he may not have been born into this sort of family, maybe he can find one out there in the world himself? 
 
From author Yao Emei and translator Kelly Zhang comes a heart-rending, emotional middle grade novel about a contemporary boy in China searching for a home—and whose resourcefulness and generous heart carry him through. 
 
Readers who fell in love with Because of Winn-Dixie and Ghost will discover an inimitable voice in Bai Jian that will stay with them forever.
