About Picco Puppy
Hi, I'm Michael Wong, an award-winning author and publisher based in Sydney, Australia (ABN 22 143 805 207). I wrote the Unconditional Love Series, which has been loved by over 450,000 readers.
How it began
When my kids were newborns, I would stare at them in wonder and wish them everything good in the world. Most of all, I wished them happiness.
That wish became the book I Wish You Happiness in 2020. Since then, over 300,000 readers worldwide have enjoyed it.
Now you can make it theirs
Personalize I Wish You Happiness with your child's name on the cover and throughout the story, in softcover or hardcover. You can also add a dedication and your name.

Every illustration is hand-drawn by human artists, with love, a stylus, and a whole lot of heart. No auto-generated art here. Watch the time-lapse to see our illustrations come to life.
