From American Girl, meet the WellieWishers, a sweet and silly group of girls who each have the same big, bright wish: to be a good friend. Join them in playful early chapter books, as they step into their colorful garden boots, and get ready for stomping in mud puddles, putting on shows, and helping friendships grow.
The WellieWishers couldn't be more excited because they're making a carnival in the garden! There will be games and cotton candy, balloons and baby chicks. Best of all, there will be a real horse to ride! There's only one problem: Ashlyn refuses to come. She's afraid of horses. But the carnival just won't be as much fun without Ashlyn! Can her friends convince her to give it a try?
