Brightly Storytime:
Carmela Full of Wishes
by the Brightly Editors
Our latest Brightly Storytime pick, from the creators of Last Stop on Market Street, takes a poignant look at life in a young Hispanic girl’s community. When Carmela finds a dandelion growing in the sidewalk, she contemplates the many wishes she can make with it. Will she wish for a candy machine? Or for her father’s immigration papers to be fixed so he can finally come home? When a fall causes her to crush the flower, Carmela’s brother helps her to find hope for her dreams in unexpected places.
