Who is Miriam? Miriam is a willful little girl, who, due to her vivid imagination and desire to be independent, gets into all kinds of humorous situations and adventures. She has her own childish dreams and also serious problems: when I grow up...; do gnomes really exist?; will my new teeth grow and why can't I learn the poem by heart and what on earth does 'conduct' mean? Miriam is a cheerful child with a great desire to learn about the things around her and participate in everything and organize things as much as she can.
