Description
Inspired by the beloved world of Star Wars, this collection of over 75 whimsical and original poems is a celebration of childhood, creativity, imagination, and the early years of Star Wars fandom. In My Pet AT-AT, a ten-year-old dreams of playing hide and seek and fetch with an AT-AT. In Dad s Luke Skywalker Figurine, a child opens their dad s untouched action figure but, instead of getting into trouble, helps their dad re-discover his own sense of play. In T-16 Dreams, a little girl imagines herself flying through the galaxy, the Empire hot on her trail, to help with her real-world fear of flying. Set in the hearts and minds of young children who love Star Wars, and filled with the characters you know and love, I Wish I Had a Wookiee is the perfect gift for the young Star Wars fan and the young at heart.
