Wishtree by Katherine Applegate
Red is an old oak tree that has watched over the neighborhood for many years. Every spring, people tie their wishes to its branches. When a new family moves in and is not welcomed by everyone, Red and the animals who live in the tree decide to help. Together, they try to bring the community together and show the power of kindness.
