As the author and illustrator of more than sixty children’s and adult books, Magsamen, trained as an art therapist, hopes to create books that offer people a way to reach out and connect in a meaningful and expressive way with someone in their life, and indeed she accomplishes this with her endearing new release, I Wish Wish Wish for You.
