Originally published in Italy as Vorrei avere, I Wish I Had... is another of those Zoboli titles that seems so simple and sweet upon the surface, but which offers hidden depths of meaning and delight, for the alert reader. In this respect, it reminds me of Zoboli's The Most Mysterious Mouse, which was the single best picture-book I read, back in 2016. I notice that many reviewers seemed to dislike this one, reading the narrative as a simple wish for various animals' abilities. For me though, the wishes expressed spoke more to what those abilities signified, in the larger scheme. Thus the wish for the singing of the whale as it crosses the ocean is not simply a desire for the whale's own voice, but a longing for a means of self guidance through the darkness, a longing for a method of finding one's own kin. Each of the wishes expressed here could thus be interpreted either on the surface level, or on a deeper level. The accompanying artwork from Mulazzani is just breathtakingly beautiful, with gorgeous details - the designs on the whale's body, the apartment building-looking trees that the lemurs are climbing - that add to the richness of each scene. I don't know that this one will strike everyone as it did me. Perhaps I am over-interpreting, but then, reading is in the eye of the reader, not the writer, so I won't apologize. Instead, I'll respond to the book's title by wishing that more of Zoboli's titles had been translated into English! Recommended to picture-book readers who appreciate gorgeous art, and dreamy, more philosophical texts. ( )
