I wish I were

I Wish I Were invites children to dream big as they explore exciting futures through the eyes of Michael and Jenny—imagining themselves as firefighters, artists, veterinarians, astronauts, and more. Written in rhythmic rhyme by Laurie Ryan, a seasoned speech pathologist, the book promotes language development through repetition and vivid, everyday imagery.

Its bright, playful illustrations spark curiosity and conversation, encouraging children to identify objects and expand their vocabulary. Whether read aloud or quietly explored, this inspiring story nurtures imagination and reminds readers of all ages that dreaming never goes out of style.

A thoughtful gift for birthdays, baby showers, or any occasion, I Wish I Were is a timeless reminder that the future is full of possibilities.
