This book is beautiful & full of love! Amazing representation as well, which is great for my biracial children to see. One of the sweetest stories I’ve ever read, the flow is gentle, & the sentiment is deeply relatable. This has quickly joined our regular rotation & we are so happy to have discovered it!

My son ( he is 6) and I really enjoyed this book. It’s a great bedtime story. It made him feel special. I loved the artwork. Especially when each parent passed the magic wand to the next. I loved the diversity of the parents. I highly recommend this book.

This was a really cute book! It’s perfect for little babies and young children, and if you have just had a child be prepared for the emotions because this one will probably get you. I really enjoyed reading this one and automatically thought of my daughter, because I hold so many of the same wishes mentioned in this book in my heart for her and her future. I really liked this story and highly recommend it!

My heart melted and I shed tears when reading this book. I am so glad I read it alone before sharing it with my little ones because my momma heart exploded. This author took the hopes and dreams that parents share for their children and put them all into one beautiful display of love. The illustrations bring the story to life, as the magic wand is passed from parent to parent, making wishes for each child. It is a symbol of unity, reminding us that we are one world, and we all want nothing but the best for those we love so dearly.

I really thought that this was such a sweet book. I would recommend it for any new parent. I think that even though it is supposed to be geared towards a baby etc that it would suit even for a parent to an older child. I myself think that it would be a great gift for a mother to give her daughter as she is about to have her first child. The poems are very sentimental and sweet. I really was quite moved by this book. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful collection of wishes for our babies. It was truly heartwarming to read and gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. The illustrations were beautiful and really pulled the collection together. I loved how the magic wand was passed on from parent to parent and baby to baby throughout. I wish that I had this collection when my (now grown) sons were babies. This is a must for any parent, soon-to-be- parent, or even grandparent, aunt, or uncle to add to their library. I highly recommend!

I really love the simplicity and sing-songy nature of this book. It’s a great book for parents to read to their kids at bedtime. It would make a fantastic baby shower gift. The illustrations were magical and I loved the imagery of the passing of the wand throughout the book. Great book that definitely gets you right in the feels with all of the things we wish for our children.

As a mum to a 4 year old girl, this book got me right in the feels. It echoed everything I wish for my little one and what mum hasn’t wished they had a magic wand to make the world perfect for their son or daughter? This would be a beautiful gift for a new parent or even for that special child in your life as a book to read together! Highly recommended!

This book had pulled at my heartstrings while reading to my kids. They loved seeing the different families, and as the wand was passed from family to family. My kids were ages 6 and 10 but they loved the book just the same. The message was sweet and heartfelt, and definitely should be a staple in every family. My family will be reading it as a bedtime routine from now on!

This is a very sweet and heart warming book. All about a mother’s wish for her child and wanting to wave a magic wand to make the wishes, hopes and dreams come true. Would be a perfect baby shower gift. Love how the wand is passed from mother to mother. Such a cute book.

If I had a Magic Wand by Melissa Lavi was the cutest story! I read it to my two year old and while she may not have understood it, she engaged with the pictures and said words after me. I loved the message and how the wand was passed to each adult. It was a sweet story about what we as parents or caretakers want for our babies. The fact that each picture was so diverse and shows how connected we are as parents and how our babies are our magic. This will be a beautiful story to read again and again to my kids!

I loved this book. I recommend this book for all parents. It was a great short read. Sweet story of what we wish we could give our children all the time and not have to worry about it. Just know that their own magic lies within them, is something pretty magical on its own.

I found If I Had a Magic Wand to be a very cute story. My 6 year old didn’t love it. He sat through it but said they should do cooler stuff with a magic wand. Even after I explained the book, he still didn’t seem too interested. The rhyming was good and made the story flow. I love love the illustrations. I love the parents passing the wand, to what I interpreted as other parents as well as their kids. I love that different nationalities and genders and ages were represented throughout the story.

If I Had a Magic Wand by Melissa Lavi is a 5 star children’s book. My mother bought my children a book a couple years ago titled something like, If I Could Keep You Little and this book, while different, had a similar comforting feel to it. My mother recently passed so I cherish this book’s similarities a lot. If I Had a Magic wand really illustrates what any parent, or adult in general, wants for a child in their life… love, happiness, kindness, the list goes on. The illustrations in this book are as beautiful as the well wishes too. A great addition to any bedtime story shelf!

This is a beautifully written and illustrated story. The story is what a parent/caregiver would wish for their baby – from filling the heart with love, beauty and kindness, to faith and courage, to peace and love and protection. All of the things a new parent wants for their baby. But – in the end, there is no need for magic- because the magic is the new baby and all that it brings into the world. The illustrations in this book are gorgeous and diverse – representing mothers/fathers/caregivers from all over the world and the joy that a new baby brings into their lives.
This is a great bedtime story – one that will bring sweet dreams.

Wow! I love this so much! It would be a perfect story for either bedtime or just a snuggle time story. Even new parents would enjoy this beautifully rhymed book!
I throughly enjoy little stories like this to read to my grandchild. They are quick, thoughtful and the way the wand is passed around is perfectly done. The pictures accompanied by the lovely words make this one a keeper.
If you know me and have kids or are expecting…I will probably be sending you this one.

Words have escaped me when it comes to this book! I love the underlying message of the book, that everyone has magic inside of them, but not the kind of magic one would think! This is such an important book to read to little ones, it will instill self confidence in them from an early age. The illustrations were also beautifully done, and I loved how they were inclusive of many different ethnicities and cultural groups in them. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has children!

Parents always want only the best for their children. If I had a Magic Wand by Melissa Lavi is a heartwarming book about parents’ wishes, dreams, and hopes for their children. Lavi’s book captures the beautiful bond between parent and child. The illustrations by Ela Ward are simply enchanting and add a whimsical flair to the story.

The art work is beautiful, the words are beautiful, I loved everything about this book. I think it is every parents wish to be able to sprinkle some sort of fairy dust on their kids to protect them, teach them and give them all they would need. My favorite part of this book is how after each page, the wand is then passed to a different mother or father, and they are from all different races, countries and backgrounds. The love for your own child extends across the world.
