Annika's Secret Wish
Written and Illustrated by: Beverly Lewis
Elementary Grades
"In turn-of the-century Sweden, finding the almond hidden in the rice pudding is the Christmas Eve highlight for many children, since it means a chance to wish for a new pair of snowshoes, a mountain of truffles coated with cocoa, an adorable kitten. For ten long years Annika has dreamed of discovering the almond in her own pudding. Will this be her year?
A beautiful book that will become part of a family’s Christmas heritage, Annika’s Secret Wish inspires young and old to freely give and share even long hoped-for gifts. The final page features Swedish Christmas traditions that your family may choose to include in your own holiday celebration."
