A picture book filled with positive messages for young children.From the first "I wish you" page of this picture book to the last, the author of Bedtime for Picco Puppy and other books in the Picco Puppy picture book series (2019) offers children words of encouragement and inspiration, complemented by a gifted artist's charming illustrations. "I wish you dreams and aspirations, to spread your wings and reach for the stars," the book begins. On the page, against a deep blue starry sky, a little brown-haired girl steadies a ladder for a blond boy in a space helmet who is reaching for the moon. Children of different races frolic in a snowy wood to illustrate "I wish you joy and laughter, to laugh long and loud until you gasp for breath." A little Black girl in a wheelchair and a light-skinned boy share an ice cream cone on a leafy autumn day to illustrate "I wish you kindness and generosity, for no act of kindness is ever wasted, no matter how small." Each "wish" is stated with graceful simplicity; each colorful illustration matches that tone and delights the eye. Two end-of-book features invite children to go back through the pages: "Can You Spot the Famous People?" highlights pictures of some of the book's characters as if they are child versions of such well-known figures as Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong, and NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, accompanying each name with a short bio. "Can You Spot the Dog?" identifies each dog in the book with its breed.A warm hug of a picture book wishing all children happy, fulfilled, and meaningful lives.
