The Wishing Flower

In a magical kingdom of peace and joy, in a place where the people have so much, only one sadness remains. As sorrow creeps into the village, it will take a miracle to return the kingdom to its perfect happiness… A miracle, that is only made possible through a gentle nature, a kind heart, and a little extra special magic. First published in the May 2007 edition of The Writers Post Journal, "The Wishing Flower" tells the story of a desire for a most precious gift. Add a King, a Queen, and a Princess, and this wonderful story is loved by parents and children alike. This short fantasy, written for mothers and fathers to share with their children, offers an original story about how special and unique each child is. Parents who read this story to their children reinforce the child’s self-concept and reassure each child of how much they are wanted and loved.
