"Happy children's day ...remember what surprised you, what you wanted, what you dreamt of, that you didn't pretend to be anyone else but yourself, you didn't keep what you felt to yourself, your desire to know new things was bigger than your pride and fears...don't forget to love and take care of that little person that lives with you and inside you," she said.
