I Wish You Happiness (10x10" Hardcover)

As a first-grade teacher welcoming my 38th group of students this month, I am always looking for meaningful resources for our first week together. Michael Wong’s Share the Kindness in Your Heart, beautifully brought to life by Zina Iugai's illustrations, is the perfect book to help young children understand the different ways we can show kindness to one another.

Earlier this year, my classroom library was incredibly impacted by Wong's I Wish You Happiness. My students fell in love with it and requested it for Read Aloud three times during our last week together. This book is just as powerful. The gentle rhyming narrative paired with vibrant, engaging illustrations provides an accessible and moving message about spreading kindness. I appreciate the inclusive illustrations featuring individuals with physical differences, as well as the back page introducing five amazing people who made a lasting impact through kindness. The "Can You Spot The Dogs" page is also a wonderful addition that challenges readers to find 12 different breeds throughout the book. It is already a beloved resource in my classroom, and I highly recommend it to any educator or parent looking to foster empathy and compassion in children.

"In a world where you can be anything , choose kindness..."

I have been giving the personalized hardcover books to my friends when they have children and what an incredible gift and experience it has been! They have all loved it not only because they are great inclusive books but for a child and their parents to see their name
IN a book makes them feel special. Also Michael was fantastic about doing some custom names for me that were not on the list which were printed and shipped very quickly for a custom book. Michael was super helpful and communicated all the steps along the way.

Thank you!!

These are beautiful books that will be cherished for years to come! The customer service at Picco Puppy is outstanding.

I first came across these books on Amazon (in softcover), when I was looking for a personalized book for my oldest daughter. I simply loved everything about them - from the positive messaging, to the beautiful illustrations created by multiple talented illustrators. I continued to buy each book I came across until I had all of the books I could get. There are still the last 2 that I am hoping to get for her, to complete the series.

Then, for my youngest daughter's 1st Birthday, I decided to get the personalized hardcovers for her. Given her unique name, I had to special order them directly through the author, Michael. He was so kind, and communicated with me until I got the books - to ensure I received everything perfectly. I decided to gift these to her because I wanted something special, unique, memorable, and even more so - something she could learn from and cherish. Since one of the books is a "Happy Birthday" book, I thought this would be simply perfect. I am so happy with my decision and love to read these books to her!

For both of my girls, I hope they keep these books as keepsakes and have wonderful memories of us reading them together. 🩷

We received our first book as a gift from a family friend and immediately fell in love with the heartwarming messages, beautiful illustrations and theme of the book. So, of course we couldn’t help but look the book up online and we came to learn that the book was part of a larger series. After previewing the titles in the series, we knew it was a must for our son’s little library. Since receiving the full collection, we’ve begun reading each book before bed as part of our daily routine. Our son is too young to really let us know if he loves the books or not but he listens attentively and enjoys the pictures. What we love as parents is the message each book offers to our baby. The messages are those that we believe all children should hear from their parents or loved ones. These books will be a staple for us and we’ve already begun gifting our favorites to other families, too! There’s a book for special occasions like birthday as well as daily favorites like I Will Always Love You that we find so special. We’re so glad we invested in these books! If you’re contemplating buying one or two, we recommend them all !!

Another lovely book. Our third from this range and it won’t be our last. The writing and illustrations are just beautiful - my son and I love reading the books together.

Such a beautiful and heartfelt story! It brought tears to my eyes as my mom read it to my son. I look forward to hearing my mom read this book to my son throughout the years. We will cherish this special book forever. ❤️ Another wonderful book from Michael Wong filled with heart, soul, and amazing artistry. I'm so glad I added this book to my son's collection. I highly recommend this book (and all of the books in Michael's collection) for any family. They make a great gift too! Looking forward to more books! 😊

I purchased a personalized book for my son’s first birthday and absolutely love it! The entire process was seamless, thanks to Michael Wong, who was incredibly helpful and responsive, going back and forth with me through email to make sure every detail was perfect and exactly what I envisioned. I was even able to include a personalized message, which makes the book extra special. This is something I’ll cherish forever, and it’s so meaningful knowing my son will grow up with it and always have a keepsake to remember his first birthday. I will definitely be ordering more books in the future and highly recommend purchasing from him.

I ordered these books for new parents. What could be better than books about unconditional love?! The books arrived in great shape and the personal messages from Michael are a special touch that further emphasizes the authenticity of the beautiful emotions and life lessons contained in this series. If all children learned these lessons we would have world peace. Thank you Michael!

I wanted a personalised book for my son whose name is rarely featured on generic personalised items. I contacted the company who, forms start to finish, gave excellent customer service! My books arrived prompt, immaculately presented and beautiful. Thank you!

I came across the Pico Puppy Unconditional Love series after purchasing Grandma's Timeless Wisdom. My grandson's loved the book so I wanted similar life lesson books to give them for Christmas. Not only did I find the Unconditional Love series at a discounted price, Michael also made sure I received them in time for Christmas. They are currently wrapped and under the tree. I know I will be reading the books to my young grandsons for days and weeks to come. I also know my teenage granddaughters will enjoy them as well.

I wanted to buy something for my grandchildren who are 4.5 & 2.5 and they LOVE BOOKS!! Probably more than their toys. When I received the Grandmas Wisdom book, I was very impressed. It led me to the UNCONDITIONAL SERIES. I immediately knew that I had to have them. I was more than impressed by the quality and the perfection of these books. I was so happy that I immediately wrote a loving message to them from Grandma. I also asked my daughter to keep them out of the kids’ bookcases because I wanted them to remain safe and cherished. I can’t wait for more grandchildren to bless my life so I can order more sets. I’m thinking of buying a set to keep for myself as I also have Grandma Wisdom and I am waiting for more more books to be published.

Michael Wong has written yet another heartwarming book filled with inspiring insights and uplifting wisdom. The special bond between grandma’s and their grandchildren is the perfect backdrop for this simple yet abiding keepsake book. A curious child’s earnest and plain spoken questions answered by his/her loving and wise grandma with kindness and warmth, wisdom,and ageless life lessons. This is a very special keepsake, not only are words and interactions touching and encouraging but the illustrations that accompany them beautifully capture the feelings expressed.. I bought and customized this book for each of my 4 grandchildren. I cannaot wait to share it with each of them! I think it would make a perfect and very special gift for any grandchild or grandparent, to be shared and treasured for years and generations to come.

Absolutely love this book (and author!).

This is the 2nd Michael Wong book my family has (1st being "I Wish You Happiness") and my wife and 3yo love it. My wife loves the overall message of the book and our 3yo loves searching for the puppies plus finding and learning about the highlighted persons.

We also love the diversity in both books we've read so far and that it shows children with different abilities and of different skin tones so each child feels seen and can also be taught about children who are different from them too.

We recommended both books to our group of prospective foster parents because we believe the message in both is necessary for kids in care - "I Wish You Happiness" and "I Will Always Believe In You". Highly recommended to build confidence in young children. We'll definitely be adding another book or two of his from the series to our home library.
