Oliver and the Wishing Star

Review\nEDITORIAL REVIEWS\n"For readers wishing for a better life, this tale delivers an engaging reminder of gratitude."- Kirkus Review\n"...a truly inspirational and charming tale!" - (5 Stars) Trisha Dawn, Readers' Favorite\n"Parents who choose Oliver and the Wishing Star as a read-aloud for the very young will find it a detailed story that holds an exciting adventure, a fantasy encounter, and a lesson. The humor wound into this tale of a dog's life adds fun moments into a quasi-serious inspection of what it takes to recognize the good aspects of one's reality. Dog-loving picture book readers are in for a treat." - Midwest Book Review\n"Thoughtfully written, with adorable art by illustrator Chrish Vindhy, author Jennifer Decker's debut picture book Oliver and the Wishing Star is the epitome of "be careful what you wish for." While some moments felt heartbreakingly true, like the struggle a child goes through to balance what they want with what they are told to do, and the feeling of not being in control of one's own life, others are just laugh out loud funny, as when Oliver realizes that being a dog means eating dog food! All in all, a charming story that will leave kids looking for the next falling star to wish on!" - Brooke Vitale\n"When things aren't going our way it's easy to look around and think everyone's got it better than we do. In Oliver's case, he even thought the dog had it better than him. His disgruntled attitude led him to a foolish wish that he could be as carefree as a dog. He quickly discovers his mistake, but can he get back to his own life? The illustrations in this story are warm and captivating, as well as the importance of early development in healthy emotional management." - Darlene Wohlfeil, Story Monsters Ink Magazine\n"IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE WISH COME TRUE, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 
In this unforgettable story, Oliver thinks dogs have the good life until 
one evening when he sees a falling star, makes a wish to become 
a dog...and that wish magically comes true..."\nAS SEEN ON - ABC 4 "GOOD THINGS UTAH"
