"Explore what it means to be grateful, and teach kids the importance of it. Not just for the big things like birthday parties and iPhones, but the small things like dinner, a cosy bed, and a sunny day. This book doesn't teach kids how to pretend like everything is always OK, but rather to change their perspective in order to live bold, influential and authentic lives. Being thankful isn't always easy, but it's so worth it"--Amazon.
