Thankful is a sturdy hard cover book with a dust jacket. It was written by Eileen Spinelli and illustrated by Archie Preston. Most people associate fall with Thanksgiving and being thankful in general. This book is a great example of gratitude for our God given gifts and talents!
From the dust cover: Beloved children’s author Eileen Spinelli and illustrator Archie Preston inspire children of all ages with THANKFUL, a whimsical picture book that celebrates the everyday blessings we find in our lives.
My thoughts: Thankfulness is something that we try to teach our children at a very young age. When they first learn they can “request” something like a toy, cup or snack we teach our children to say “thank you”. This book uses rhyming to help the reader see how and what people are thankful for.
The illustrations with in this book make the book fun. You see the same two little children (a boy and a girl) act out each thing as the words describe what each person would be thankful for:
“The doctor is thankful when patients get well. The traveler, for a cozy hotel.”
“The dancer is thankful. She loves the beat that stirs her heart and his and feet.”
What a fun, easy read and great book for any little one to experience and see gratitude.
