“Some books are about a single wish.
Some books are about three wishes.
This book is about endless wishes.

“Amy Krouse and Tom Lichtenheld have been called the “Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers of children’s books” and here they have combined their extraordinary talent to create a compendium of wishes—wishes for curiosity and wonder, friendship and strength, for joyous days and quiet moments.

What will you wish for?”  [book jacket]

Review
I Wish You More is the perfect book for a (grand)parent to give their (grand)child for any occasion or no occasion at all. I Wish You More is also the perfect book to give the child heading off to college, summer camp, or any other get-away.

I wish you more can than knot.

Beginning with two children racing with the wind, a kite flying high above, the text reads:  “I wish you more ups than downs.” Each spread continues with a wish and an image expressing that wish. Children will understand most of the test and each of the images. Lichtenheld has created a multicultural set of children, which make the spreads that more adorable—if this is possible.

I Wish You More is simply a wonderful, joyous, high-spirited, positive celebration of what a wish can do for those who receive them, and for those who give them. There really is not much more to say about this beautiful picture book. Read I Wish You More to a young child and they can learn the benefits of kindness and well wishes toward other humans. And, I believe, you can help your little one with their self-esteem.  I Wish You More would have been in my office and read to every child.

I wish you more stories than stars.

Each spread is one wish—one special wish with an equally special illustration. Narrated by the voice of a parent, I Wish You More  concludes by stating it contains all these wishes, “. . . because you are everything I could wish for . . . and more.”

**Chronicle Books is making two posters from the book available for anyone who would like them. This may be for a limited time, I do not know, so go HERE and get your set of two. They are perfect for any child’s room. There is also an activity kit for teachers HERE.

Do you want to achieve more for your life? One simple step could be the power in the things you say.

It has been proven scientifically that words have energy and significant power. It can begin with our thoughts but the words we think create our actions. Are you disempowering yourself with negative language and the words around you? By replacing your negative language with positive language things can really change.
We all must learn that not only what we think but also what we speak creates much of our outcomes in life.

Being conscious of our mind talk and making alterations can make a difference.

Watch the video below and see how words changed the composition of water. I found the video below after searching the Internet for a video that related to a book I have and found astounding. The book is called "The power of appreciation" by Dr Noelle C. Nelson and Dr Jeannine L Calaba. I highly recommend it. It is not a Christian book.

For anyone interested in what the Bible says on this matter check out this link: http://www.bible.org/page.php?page_id=640

Positive & Negative Energy Effects on Water

This video interviewing Dr Masary Emoto who did the studies on the video above is also enlightening. I was particularly surprised of the suggestion that the words on cigarette packets where more damaging than the actual cigarettes!
