Mac's Big Wish: A Children's Book about the Power of Friendship

By Peter Vanderwall

An inspiring tale for all ages, Mac's Big Wish helps us understand the true value of friendship. After spending much of his life alone at Puddleton's Pet Rescue watching other dogs leave happily with new owners, Mac almost gives up hope for a loving home. But then he gets a special job as a therapy dog at Oak Knoll Care Center and learns he too has much to give.

Mac's Big Wish won the 2024 Patricia Gallagher Children's Choice Picture Book Award, sponsored by the Oregon State Literacy Association. Over 12,000 school children voted for it as their favorite among five nominees during the school year.

Purchase includes a free download of an 8-minute animated video of Mac's Big Wish narrated by the author.
