What really matters in life? A delightful look at the twenty things children need that no one should miss. The most important, of course, is a friend you can always count on. And a mother who cares for and comforts us. An aunt or grandmother who always has time to play is indispensable, and a house or a stuffed animal to hug. Everyone needs a room, a bed, and a bicycle. And you should be able to cook your favorite dish and play an instrument. Hein knows that discoveries and inventions are particularly important and why a good story, tears, and falling in love make our happiness complete.
