Kind words from the families who read our books

Parents, grandparents and teachers from around the world share what these books mean to them.

My two High School graduates LOVE this book

I love to give children’s beautifully illustrated books to people for many occasions. I happened to find this one as I was searching for the perfect sentiment for my daughter and her best friend as they graduated from high school last week. "I Wish You Happiness" was the perfect find in both the beautiful, sweet, colorful illustrations and the words, which are so fitting for any transition, which in this case is sending them off to college. The author said everything I wished for them and yes, a few tears were shed.

Susanon I Wish You Happiness

The PERFECT Gift!

I was looking for a book to gift to my son for his high school graduation-granted he just finished Kindergarten but I plan on having his teachers write a little something in the book each year and gift the final book to him as a surprise when he graduates his senior year. This book embodies what we are teaching him and what we hope he carries throughout his life - we wish him happiness! The book itself is absolutely amazing - the illustrations are beautiful which match the words throughout the book…the PERFECT gift!

Rosieon I Wish You Happiness

Absolutely gorgeous book

I really loved the previews on Kickstarter but when they arrived I was just enchanted by the details in the drawings. So much joy in them. Definitely illustrations you could explore for a long time with the little person you like to read with. I bought several copies to send to my friends’ kids.

PS: seeing Amelia Earhart made my eyes fog up a little bit. Or a lot? A lot.

Inspiring book

Beautiful captivating words and pictures. Be warned it’s a bit of a tearjerker!

Anneliese Constantineon I Wish You Happiness

Breathtakingly beautiful!!

This book completely captivated my three youngest children, all boys ages 2, 4 & 8. They LOVED the sweet words and message of the book.

We read the book aloud and took our time turning the pages. The details and the artwork are truly unbelievable. I found myself after several minutes encouraging a page-turn as they could have stared at each page for hours. Such a good buy and a keepsake for our collection!! HIGHLY recommend!

Katie Weaveron I Wish You Happiness

Amazing gift

I’m currently pregnant with my first child. I was gifted this book from my grandparents with my baby’s name on it and I absolutely love it! It’s by far my favorite book I’ve received and I know my baby is going to love it just as much as me. The personalization makes it more sentimental and it will be forever cherished.

Chandnion I Wish You Happiness

Heartwarming and Captivating Children’s Book, I Wish You Happiness

This book is beautifully illustrated with a storyline that is amazing. I cannot express adequately how much I loved giving this as a gift to our great granddaughter. She has an extensive library of children’s books. Without a doubt, this is one of her favorites and mine. To read this together is heartwarming. I highly recommend this book as a lasting gift to give to any child in your life.

D. Hetzeron I Wish You Happiness

Awesome Book

You know how you love your kids so much and you want the best for them so bad but sometimes you don’t know how to put the enormity of your emotions on paper? Lol, maybe I’m the only one with this problem, but I loved that this book helped me put to words the wealth of emotion and good vibes I feel for my kids. This is an awesome awesome book and my kids loved it.

Jennifer Aireon I Wish You Happiness

I wish you happiness

I love this book, the colours and characters are truly beautiful. I purchased it to read to my twin granddaughters, as I want them both to believe in themselves, but even more importantly, I want them to be happy within themselves and I encourage all parents and grandparents to do this too.

Sherryn Chapmanon I Wish You Happiness

Beautiful shower gift

In the States, I could not get a hard copy of "I Wish You Happiness", but wanted this special book for my cousin’s shower. Michael couldn’t have been anymore helpful after reaching out to him. In all of that, I immediately felt his passion and pride behind his work. This book is even better in person! The pictures are bold and whimsical, with every page filled with inspiration for your little one to find new meaning behind those words as they grow and mature. My cousin loved it, and I know her little girl will as well.

Robinon I Wish You Happiness

Amazing Gift!!

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. Michael was super helpful and communicated all the steps along the way.

Ryan Gon I Wish You HappinessPersonalized

An absolutely beautiful book

What a beautiful book. Not only are the words heartfelt, but the illustrations are just stunning. This book is a classic and will be cherished for years to come. Michael also has amazing customer service. I received an email the minute I ordered (which was 10pm at night hehe) and also when the book was posted and once more to check it arrived. Thank you so much Michael!

Sarah Cullenon I Wish You Happiness

Very special, every home should have one!

Dear Michael, thank you so very much for your gorgeous book. If my youngest granddaughter loves it as much as her older sister I may have to get another one! The delivery was prompt and hassle free, your email contact is lovely, and the packaging and presentation on arrival was just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent, your words are meaningful and inspirational. It truly is a book that every child should have.

Lorraine Robbieon I Wish You Happiness

Just beautiful

This book is a masterpiece. I want to frame the illustrations and put them on my walls. The words are tender and beautiful too - you can use them. In cards you give to friends and family. Wonderful wishes.

Diana Aon I Wish You Happiness

Beautiful Words, Lovely Illustrations and Amazing Service

Every part of our experience was perfect. From the easy ordering, great communication and personalised experience from Michael Wong to receiving a signed, wrapped and beautifully written and illustrated book filled with positive wishes that is perfect for our new baby’s first book. Very quick processing time and shipping even amidst a covid lockdown. 5 stars all round!

Jayde Stapletonon I Wish You HappinessPersonalized

Extra Special!

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! 😊

A beautiful work of art to have in your home

My son loves to find the dog on each page. I love the writing and tear up often when reading this book. A beautiful work of art to have in your home.

Danion I Love You With All My Heart

Cherished

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.

Kimberly Fon The Complete Unconditional Love Series

1st Birthday

If you are looking for a book or books to convey a message to your loved ones look no further than the books written by Michael Wong. Each book lets your loved one know they are loved by you and you wish them all the best life has to offer.

I bought the book "I Wish You A Happy Birthday" along with "I Wish Happiness", "I Will Always Love You" and "I Will Always Be Proud Of You" for our granddaughter’s first birthday. My hope is that my granddaughter will read one or all of the books every year on her birthday and remember her gamma wants her to be a strong, independent, giving person and she is loved.

Danielle Skajewskion I Wish You A Happy Birthday

Truly timeless — a book that every parent/caregiver should have!

I Will Always Believe in You is an absolutely beautiful and meaningful book. From the very first page, I was touched by the loving message that shines through each word.

I plan to use this book as a special keepsake for my daughter. Each of her teachers will write a note to her at the end of their year together, making it a treasured memory she can look back on as she grows.

This book puts into words everything I want my child to know: that I will always believe in her, in every stage of her life.

Charismatic Stories & Messages

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.

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.

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

Ashley S.on The Complete Unconditional Love SeriesPersonalized

Beautiful and timeless books!

We purchased The Complete Unconditional Love Series for my child. These books are so beautiful! Gorgeous illustrations, thoughtful writing, excellent quality of hardcover books. Sometimes it can be hard to put into words the feelings you have as a parent for your child and these books have just the right words, they are very encouraging and inspiring. I am sure this will be a true keepsake for her and she will love them even more when she understands the true meaning of the words.

Lilit P.on The Complete Unconditional Love Series

Simply beautiful!

These books are truly beautiful! The words, the illustrations. Love pouring out of every page. We own every book from the Unconditional Love series including a couple of personalised copies and we will treasure them forever. They will definitely be put into our children’s keepsake boxes for their children to enjoy one day.

Eva Mon I Will Always Love You

Unconditional love for the new family

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!

Micheleon The Complete Unconditional Love Series

Recommended read to every child by every caregiver

Absolutely love this book (and author!).

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. Highly recommended to build confidence in young children.

Derek Ton I Will Always Believe In You

Sweet and special

If you’re a grandmother you’ve probably had many of these same conversations with your grandchildren. I know I have. This book is a sweet reminder of all the times you’ve spent with your grandchildren, all the memories you’ve already shared with them, and all the future memories you will make with them. Reading this book made me smile and remember all the wonderful moments I’ve been able to spend with them. I can’t wait to read it to them and give it to them so they can read it whenever they want. I loved it!

Annie B.on Grandma’s Timeless Wisdom

Another heartwarming book by Michael

I have several of Michael’s books and I am never disappointed. The same goes for this book! I bought several of "Grandma’s Timeless Wisdom" books and gifted them to my friends, who are also grandmas. Everyone loves the book! Thank you, Michael, for another book for us to treasure!

Sue Don Grandma’s Timeless Wisdom

Heartwarming Messages Every Child Should Hear!

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. Since receiving the full collection, we’ve begun reading each book before bed as part of our daily routine. 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!

Lisa Con The Complete Unconditional Love Series

Books for young and old

I came across the Picco Puppy Unconditional Love series after purchasing Grandma’s Timeless Wisdom. My grandsons 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.

Kellyon The Complete Unconditional Love Series

Best children’s books!

I Wish You Happiness and I Will Always Love You are 2 books my son’s father customized for him with his name and gifted me while I was pregnant. These books are so touching and make a special gift for your child or any loved one! I highly recommend starting your own collection. 😊

Share The Kindness In Your Heart

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. 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.

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.

Robynon Share The Kindness In Your Heart

I Wish You A Happy Birthday

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.

Roxana Hon I Wish You A Happy BirthdayPersonalized
