“The Wish Trees” inspires children to plant trees, make wishes, and help shape a better world
Every child has a wish for the world…
Most of us just forgot ours.
This Earth Day 2026, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of The ChariTree Foundation, we invite you to remember.
“Environmental education is most powerful when it inspires both hope and action in young people,” says Andrea Koehle Jones, award-winning children’s environmental education advocate and founder of The ChariTree Foundation. “Now more than ever, we are called to support each child’s wish for the world.”
Today, we are proud to share the official book trailer for a story rooted in hope, imagination, and the power of small hands to grow big change:
This heartfelt picture book reminds us that when children plant trees, they’re not just growing forests—they’re planting dreams for a better world.
Watch the trailer on TikTok.
Share the message.
Start a conversation with the children in your life.
Because one tree, one wish, one child… can change everything.
Plant a tree. Make a wish. Change the world.
