Grateful

Grateful is my all-time favorite Thanksgiving book. The song is by John Bucchino, illustrations by Anna-Liisa Hakkarainen. This book includes a CD of the song sung by Art Garfunkel. The illustrations are mostly evening-related, perfect for snuggling in and singing this to your loved one, and helping them realized just how much they have been blessed with. In larger groups we have discussions about what things the kids are grateful for, and we discuss that even though there are things that do go wrong, there is so much good in all of our lives, so much to be the thankful for that if we focus on what we're thankful for our lives will be happier.
