Starchild: Why Malaysian kids want to wish upon a star


Wong Cheng Yang, 10

Every child has wishes, and that's what makes being a kid so special! Wishes are dreams and hopes that you hold in your heart. They can be big or small and can be about anything you can imagine.

Some kids wish for toys, like a new bike or a stuffed animal. Others might wish for adventures, like visiting a theme park or going on vacation. Wishes can also be about learning new things, like wanting to be a great artist or learning to play an instrument. Maybe you dream of having a superpower, like being able to fly high in the sky like Marvel superheroes Iron Man or Thor. Or maybe you wish to talk to animals like the fictional character Dr Dolittle!
