The Wishbone

By: Adams, Adolphus

"Sometimes we make our wishes come true if we work hard enough."

A heartwarming Thanksgiving tale that teaches that the greatest gifts come from the heart. In this beautifully crafted story, young Marcus finds himself bored and alone before Thanksgiving. His cousins' arrival is days away, and his mother is busy preparing the holiday feast. When she introduces him to the ancient tradition of the wishbone--a turkey bone that grants wishes when broken--Marcus's imagination soars with possibility.

As the wishbone dries by the fireplace, Marcus works diligently around the house, seemingly preparing for the gift he hopes to receive. Through gentle moments between mother and son, readers will discover the profound wisdom that some wishes require our own dedication to come true. When the moment of truth arrives and Marcus breaks the wishbone with his mother, the story delivers a tender surprise that will warm hearts and remind families of what truly matters during the holiday season.

The Wishbone is more than just a Thanksgiving story--it's a keepsake to be treasured and passed down through generations. It teaches children about patience, selflessness, and the joy that comes from making others happy. Give the gift of a meaningful tradition this Thanksgiving--one that families will cherish year after year.
