I started the list in 1992, right after the first attempt. For me, it was a typical day for a seven-year-old girl. "The mother of a seven-year-old girl attempts suicide. The little girl starts a list of all the wonderful things worth living for..."

Now an adult, she comes to tell us her story. And the story of the List. Because, as the years go by, the List grows...

All These Wonderful Things is a work that is tender, hilarious, touching, and full of optimism. A warm embrace of a work...

Each of us needs to hear all these wonderful things, to (re)discover the little joys of life, those that ultimately... are also the biggest. Especially today. Especially here.
