This is going to sound extremely cheesy, but this manga makes me realize how precious life is. Yotsuba's amazement at the simplest things makes me realize how everything is just so full of wonder and excitement. We take so much of our life for granted. I really wish I could have had a childhood like Yotsuba has. Kids that sit around playing video games have no idea what they're missing! Going fishing, making your own newspaper... This is the ideal childhood.
