What is Abigail's Wish about?

Spring. Beautiful blossoms. Chirping peepers. Trees swaying in their new greenery. Pussy willows glistening in furry white coats. Rain and warmth. New births and new beginnings Ten-year-old Abigail Price is excited about spring in her new home in Birchtown, Nova Scotia. Spring means lots of things, like flower buds and fresh leaves and her Aunt Dinahs new baby. Shes hoping it also means shell get a new dress to wear for the celebration, but new clothing, like many things, is hard to come by. The first childrens picture book to be set in historic Birchtown, Abigails Wish is a window into the life of a Black Loyalist family in the early years of the historic colony. Through the eyes of young Abigail, this stunning collaboration between poet and novelist Gloria Ann Wesley and award-winning illustrator Richard Rudnicki will teach readers about Black Loyalist life, and the value of friendship and patience.
