Yes. You can also wish someone shanah tovah u'metukah (a good and a sweet year) or l'shanah tovah tikatevu (may you be inscribed for a good year [in the book of life]) or ketivah v'chatimah tovah (a good inscription and seal), but it's not compulsory. Gam lakh is "the same to you" (fem.), I think.
It reminds me a little of the end of "As I was walking on boston common" (slow and sweet, wasn't it? in that picture book? now I'm not sure)
That's it; Norma Farber's As I Was Crossing Boston Common (1975).
As I stood still on Boston Common, they formed a circle, sweet and slow, with everyone pulling someone in tow— beginning with A for Angwantibo in tow to the man, himself in tow— sweet and slow, sweet and slow, surprising and uncommon.

anyway, sweetness is a lovely thing to wish, and goodness of course too.

As I stood still on Boston Common,
they formed a circle, sweet and slow,
with everyone pulling someone in tow—
beginning with A for Angwantibo
in tow to the man, himself in tow—
sweet and slow, sweet and slow,
surprising and uncommon.
Thank you.
