El último día de mi vida

One day Alina woke up, looked around her room, and thought: I like my unicorn. I like my books. I like my games. But one more little toy would be great. What do you think? This clever children's book urges children to reflect on what they really need to be happy. A story about the affection of the family and the importance of friends.

Each of these humorous books features a young boy or girl who feels bored, lonely, worried, or unfairly treated. Each child discusses the way he or she reacts to these emotions and comes up with ideas to overcome them. Knowing that other children-and even adults, as the stories point out-share these feelings is a great comfort for kids. Text copyright 2004 Lectorum Publications, Inc.
