But as he looks closely at the people he loves...his tired momma, his worried siblings, and the family who never gives up on him, Charlie begins to wonder if the greatest wishes are always the ones we make for ourselves.Charlie and His Secret Wish on a Star is a heartfelt early chapter book about a boy with a disability whose kindness, empathy, and inner strength shine brighter than any magic. Told with warmth and honesty, this story gently explores themes of disability representation, family love, inclusion, and emotional growth in a way that young readers can understand and feel.Written for children ages 7-11, this inclusive children's book invites readers to see that communication comes in many forms and that sometimes the quietest voices carry the most powerful messages.Perfect for readers who enjoy meaningful stories about family, compassion, and seeing the world through someone else's eyes.This book is based on a real child with a real genetic disorder called Scaaf-Yang Syndrome. This is a family collaboration with Momma writing the text and two of the sisters providing the illustrations.
