Egmont is delighted to be publishing the Make-a-Wish Collection, proceeds of which will go to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. The Foundation' s aim is very simple: to turn the wishes of children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, into reality. A wish granted is true magic for the child and provides happy memories for the family when, perhaps, time finally runs out...Top authors and illustrators from around the world have been invited to illustrate their own wishes and the result is a stunning and unique collection, which will be treasured by children and adults alike. A real treasure trove of authors and illustrators have made contributions to the collection including: Nick Butterworth Tony Ross Claire Fletcher Julia Preston Paul Howard Keith McEwan Chris van Allsburg Michael Foreman Mary Murphy Jess Meserve Helen Oxenbury Jan Fearnley Nicky Cooney C Mary Howard Jane Ray Mick Inkpen Val Biro Ian Beck Bruce Ingman Korky Paul
