My heart jumps and laughs

Dunne is a very ordinary girl. She lives in Sweden, studies in the first grade, she really likes school, and like any girl, she has a best friend. Dunne considers herself happy: she even has a notebook, which is called "My Happy Life", where she writes down when and why she was happy. But gradually Dunne learns that things happen in life that make you really sad. For example, a best friend can move to another city. Dad may not want Dunne to get guinea pigs. And it turns out that you can quarrel with classmates over a mere trifle. At first, Dunne is very upset. But then she understands that a lot can be fixed: make peace with the guys, visit her best friend, and sooner or later the pigs will appear ... Anything can happen, and happiness is sometimes not complete, but now Dunne knows for sure: her life, despite everything, is the happiest. It's late in the evening, but Dunne still can't fall asleep. Some people count sheep in such cases, but she knows better! Dunne counts how many times she's been happy. Like when her cousin Svante gave her a real, live frog as a gift when she was a child. Or when she managed to swim three strokes without drowning for the first time. And when she got a school backpack. And how happy she was to go to first grade! She'd been waiting for this moment her whole life. Summer dragged on unbearably long - and all because she was so impatient to go to school.
