Vincent A. Watson’s I Wish You Dream is a tender and imaginative picture book that celebrates the beauty of childhood wonder. Through rhythmic verses and vivid imagery, it invites children, and adults, to dream freely and boundlessly. Each page spins a new fantasy: a pirate adventure, a moonlit game of hide and seek, a tea party in Paris with a talking spoon. The book feels like a lullaby wrapped in color and curiosity, carrying a gentle message about love, hope, and the power of dreams.

Reading this picture book felt like being pulled back into the easy magic of childhood. The writing flows like a song, simple and pure, yet filled with heart. The rhymes feel natural, not forced, and the scenes are whimsical without being overly sweet. I caught myself smiling as I pictured gumdrops falling from the sky and dinosaurs crossing deserts. It’s playful, sure, but it also holds a quiet sincerity. Watson doesn’t just tell children to dream, he tells them to keep dreaming, no matter what.

What I love most is the emotion tucked between the lines. There’s this sense of warmth that feels personal, almost like a parent whispering encouragement at bedtime. The dedication to his children and “all the kids around the world” makes it even more heartfelt. The language is simple, but the message is big.

I’d recommend I Wish You Dream to parents who love reading aloud, to teachers who want to inspire imagination, and to anyone who believes dreams matter, even when we grow up. It’s sweet, it’s kind, and it leaves you smiling.
