Wishtree by Katherine Applegate

In a quaint neighborhood, an ancient oak tree named Red stands as a silent witness to the lives of the people around it, serving as a "wishtree" where residents tie their hopes and dreams. Narrated by Red, the story unfolds when a new family moves in, facing prejudice and hostility from some community members. Through the eyes of the wise tree and its animal inhabitants, a tale of friendship, acceptance, and the power of hope emerges, as the community learns to embrace diversity and the beauty of coming together in unity.
