Oh, How I Wish by Ms. Kimms is about Little One, a toddler who is independent and wants to do everything on their own. Like any other kid their age, they want to learn about every topic but also struggle with everyday tasks. Because this child only desires to do things correctly, their situation can quickly become frustrating and overwhelming. Furthermore, they have great admiration for their mother and observe her perform great tasks in her life, such as scoring goals and juggling... which only adds to the desire to learn to do things flawlessly. The mother, on the other hand, is quick to point out how various situations can be viewed. This book provides an excellent chance to learn about the difficulties that toddlers face daily, as well as their normalcy.

Oh, How I Wish, Little One is presented as a curious kid who only wants to explore and learn about the world, a character trait I thought was important to highlight due to the pressure that is usually placed on toddlers to learn and grow quickly. This vital stage of a person's existence is widely assumed to be only a happy and easy period, but reality proves otherwise. Ms. Kimms shows us how difficult a toddler's life can be with individually crafted illustrations and colorful designs. I also admired the writer's ability to show how a sentence of empathy from the child's mother can both calm and teach them a useful lesson. Furthermore, I believe this is a great guide not only for any toddler to feel understood but also for parents who want to better comprehend what is going on in their children's lives.

Toddler life is hard. A young child sees larger humans doing all sorts of things they cannot do. They are often envious of the abilities of older children and adults.

Oh, How I Wish by Ms. Kimms is a children's picture book that revolves around its toddler narrator, Little One, as they think about all the things their mother is capable of, and their desire to be just like she is. The story begins with Little One in their crib, wishing they could climb like their mother so they could get out of the crib and onto the floor to play with their robot. The coordinating illustration, which is also by Ms. Kimms, shows Little One standing in the crib, with their mother on the next page rock climbing the face of a mountain. As the story progresses, Little One's wishes continue with things like a wish to be as athletic as their mom so they can score goals, and a wish to be as coordinated as their mom, so they can dress. Ultimately, when Little One is ready for bed Mom says a single line, and the promise that Little One feels transcends the page.

I was a little nervous when I picked up Oh, How I Wish by Ms. Kimms on account of Little One having one huge eye and one small one, as does the mother. I know that how a character appears is not supposed to be a factor but because of my own little one's current stage of being terrified of everything, I was wary. What sold me was in flipping through the book. Little One's mother is depicted as being physically strong. And I mean, really strong. She is muscular in a way that maternal figures in children's literature are never, ever depicted to be. As a rather muscular mom myself, I almost could not believe how wonderful it was to see in kid-lit. The illustrations are bold and employ a primary color palette that keeps toddlers engaged, and the message is unexpected and spectacular. There was a moment when Little One stumbled and I wasn't sure where the story was going, but that last line....yeah. This is a good book. Very highly recommended.
