I Wish I Had...

(2) K-3 Translated by Leslie Matthews. Illustrated by Simona Mulazzani. In a poetic text, the narrator wishes for the qualities of various animals. Some wishes are straightforward: the sharp eyes of a blackbird, for instance, while others seem more adult: "I wish I had the forest of thoughts of a deer listening in the woods." The text's mysterious qualities are accentuated by Mulazzani's intricate, deeply hued art.
