This was such an adorable and sweet story. It made me quite emotional reading it as a parent because these are some I things I would wish for my little boy. I read it to my 3 year old at bedtime and thought what a beautiful bedtime story it made for young children. Also I thought it would make a beautiful gift for new parents to read to their new bundle of joy. The illustrations were also lovely as well.

This book is such a wonderful story that really feels like it is full of magic. It will appeal to such a wide audience and has the ability to connect with each and every person that picks it up. It is sweet and  well written, one of those books that I found to be just a joy.

This is the first book that I have read by this author but I can say it won’t be the last especially if they are all as good as this!

Beautiful! BEAUTIFUL! B-E-A-UUUUUUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
This book hits me right in the mommy heart! I love how it pretty much says it all with hopes of how we all want our babies to be!

I also love the illustrations throughout the book! It shows us that even though parenting can be different standpoints we all want the absolute best for our babies. It doesn’t matter if you are black, white, purple, green, or even pink. It doesn’t matter if you are a single dad, single mom, or the Brady bunch. Wanting your child to be kind is the same from us all.

I would 1000000% give this book a 100 stars. 5 is just not enough!
I read this digital on my kindle, but I am going right now to order it in a hard copy so I can read it over and over to my babies!

This is a very sweet book that would make a beautiful gift for a baby shower or the birth of a new baby. It is written in flowy poetry and features a wand that is passed around. As the wand is passed, the person holding it bestows a wish on the young one. It’s very sentimental, inspiring, and sweet!

This is a sweet book with the text in poetry form. The illustration of handing off the magic wand from baby to parent was pleasant and soft. There isdiverse representation of parents giving each other the magic to give to their babies. It’s delightful to see love captured in the graphics along with the text makes for a beautiful story your children will love!

If I Had A Magic Wand is a message to everyone who share their love of a child/children. No matter where you are in the world or even if the child is not biological or if you are male or female the message is the same love is love.

It is a short story that is told through almost lyrical rhymes and illustrations. A sweet tale of mother’s love their hopes, their wishes and their dreams for her child.

If you had a magic wand, what would you wish for?

A beautiful read to be shared.

“If I had a magic wand that made my wishes come true,
I’d wave it high and wave it low
And use all my wishes on you…”

 

If I Had a Magic Wand by Melissa Lavi is a sweet, illustrated children’s storybook that can be enjoyed by both young and old… It is written is a poetic, lyrical style- which certainly adds to the whole feel of this sweet, heart-warming book.
This is a story of a mother’s wish for her baby/children- passing the wishing wand from mother to mother as they each make wishes for their little ones. The messages are touching, tender, sweet, poignant, and inspirational. As I mother, I can really relate to all of the wishes and definitely wish the same for my children and grandchildren, also.
A lovely story to read your child at bedtime, leaving them with meaningful messages of love, hope, family, and unity as they nod off to sleep….
Happy Reading.

Thank you, Melissa Levi!

This was a cute, uplifting kids book. It definitely wasn’t just a book for kids, as a mom I find it very endearing. Moms (and Dads) are hard-working, love unconditionally, and only want the very best for their children. However, as parents we learn quickly that we are not perfect, we can’t fix everything, and our children will hurt, cry, etc. Oohh, but we all wish we had a magic wand to make sure our little ones never have to deal with the struggles of life! If we did, we would use it all the time. This story reminded me that we are not perfect, but that we strive for that perfection for our children. In addition, from the child’s point of view, the story also lets them in on the secret that while we may not always succeed in the perfection journey, we do try very hard!!

I found this book to be beautiful written. It felt peaceful, thoughtful and full of heartfelt wishes. This is a book that would be a beautiful gift to give at baby showers, or to any new parents. A book of wishes to share with your children. I think the wishes can be shared with all ages. We are raising our grandson and I think that those wishes will be beautiful to read with him at bedtime or at special times. I am in love with this book. Thank you for sharing it author. Beautiful and well-done.
