ABOUT
Inside this empowering guided journal, you’ll find prompts to make twenty-eight wishes as a family—from small everyday wishes to grand plans for the future. It’s a place for discovery, creativity, and intention-setting—and reconnecting with the ones you love.
A thoughtful alternative to a bucket list, this interactive book is filled with prompts and exercises to remind you that dreams can come true every day, not just once in a lifetime. Because when you slow down and connect with the ones you share a life with, wish-making becomes more than just dreaming. It becomes a way to invite more clarity, joy, and possibility into the days you spend together.
Separated into six sections—Everyday Wishes, Wishes for and About Us, Wishes for Connection, Wishes for Experiences, Big Wishes, and Special Kinds of Wishes—the inspiring prompts include:
- A wish to make something together
- A wish for a day when everyone gets to choose
- A wish to capture a moment
- A wish to offer a secret act of kindness
Each wish prompt is accompanied by a quotation to reflect upon.
Give your family a place to dream big, reflect deeply on who you are as a family, and make all of your heart-held wishes come true. Because sometimes we forget that no matter what life holds today, there is a lot we can make happen.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
