About this ebook
“A delightful little book” for kids about feeling gratitude for gifts big and small (Kirkus Reviews).
Thank you isn’t just for learning manners.
It’s also for when something wakes a
little hum—a little happy hum—inside you
and you want to answer back.
The Thank You Book explores the many ways we can be thankful for the pleasures great and small that await us every day. Tender and poetic, it reflects on the role gratitude can play in our lives and celebrates the powerful impact it can have.
“An appealing picture book with a theme that’s timely at Thanksgiving but always relevant.” —Booklist
