About This Book
A parent reaches for this book during quiet, reflective moments, like bedtime or a birthday, when they want to articulate their deepest hopes and boundless love for their child. "I Wish for You" is not a story with a plot, but a lyrical poem expressing a caregiver's aspirations for their little one's life. It touches on wishes for joy, kindness, resilience in the face of sadness, and the courage to be oneself. Its gentle tone and beautiful illustrations make it a perfect, reassuring read for children aged 3 to 6. This book serves as a warm, comforting hug, providing the words for feelings that can be hard to express and reinforcing the secure bond between parent and child.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book gently touches on life's challenges, with phrases like "when you are sad" or "when you stumble." The approach is metaphorical, secular, and framed as a normal part of a full life. The resolution is always immediately hopeful, wishing the child resilience, comfort, and the strength to get back up. The concept of being different is presented positively as staying true to oneself.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 4 or 5-year-old facing a milestone, such as a birthday or the first day of school, who would benefit from a direct and loving affirmation of their worth and potential. It is also for the parent who is feeling emotional about their child growing up and wants a beautiful way to express their love and hopes.
