Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

I thank the moon for the night time. I thank the sun for the day. I thank my boots for knowing the way…

There is so much to be thankful for! In this happy and hopeful picture book for the very young, we see the world through a child’s eyes as he thanks all of the things that give him joy – the sun, his bicycle, the jelly in his bowl, and so much more.

Jarvis creates beautiful collage art in this first book of gratitude; a book that inspires children to think about what they might like to say thank you to, too!
