◎Editor's Recommendation

★ Carefully select the important things in life to ignite children's passion and expectations for life

Every child will have to walk alone on the road of life in the future, no matter it is stormy or sunny. However, every parent should tell their children what are the important things in the road ahead? Why can these things make us happy, give us warmth, inspire our creativity, soothe our souls, and give us the strength to move forward? The author of this book selects 20 important things in life to let children understand that there are many beautiful scenery in life that are worth exploring and enjoying, so that children can learn to find the warmth and fun of life and ignite their passion and expectations for life.

★ Twenty important things, telling the precious emotions in the world, and describing the surprises and fun in life

Twenty important things are like a long poem about the true meaning of life, an inspirational work full of life wisdom, which can enrich children's lives and make their hearts no longer lonely: friends, mothers, and love can make children realize the value of family, friendship, and love; cats can let children know that pets can accept your secrets and keep a distance from you; beds and rooms can let children enjoy the fun of freedom; discoveries and inventions can let children feel the excitement and pleasure brought by creativity; pain and failure can make children realize that although there are difficulties and setbacks in life, all of this will eventually disappear... Some of these important things seem ordinary but are full of profound meanings, and some are unexpected but reasonable. These important things provide all children with the necessary perspectives to think about life.
