ask his family…

Elias is a hedgehog, and today is his birthday.

What do I want, Uncle?

Maybe you want an airplane, to fly

around the world!

What do I want, Auntie?

What do I want, Auntie?

Maybe you

want a

library, with

stacks of

books

to read

together!

What do I want, Grandma?

What do I want, Grandma? Maybe you want a chocolate

bar, as big as a house!

What do I want, Grandad?

What do I want, Grandad?

Maybe you want a train, so that

you can be the conductor!

What do I want, Mommy ?

Maybe you want spaghetti, enough

to fill your whole room!

What do I want, Daddy ?

Maybe

you want a

sailboat, to

sail across

the ocean!

But what do you really want, Elias?

But what do you really want, Elias?

More than anything in the world…

I just want a hug!

From Uncle

and Mom

and Dad!
