The Most Important Wish

This wonderful book of short stories by talented writer Elena Kasyan will definitely touch your heart. Each chapter is an essay about a little girl Polina, who has a Mom, two friends (twin sisters), and a whole world around her. Polina is exploring the mysterious, magic world all the time, as every detail matters, and every word is important and full of meaning. This is the world of adults whose life is hard to embrace, and who don't always understand their kids. But still Polina loves them. She wants and learns to be happy. The stories are full of subtle humor, and they are non-judgmental or condescending to children, as it often happens. In this sincere piece of writing, the author manages to show the miracle of our day-to-day life, and also to convey the message love, care, and desire to understand. The book is illustrated by the vivid and endearing watercolours by a well-known artist Viktoria Kirdiy.
