Nature's gifts are recognised and celebrated in this minimalist picture book that links gratitude with life itself.Kirkus Reviews

Clouds bring the rain that makes puddles to splash in. Sheep give us wool for our sweaters and hats. The honey that sweetens our bread comes from bees (thank you, bees).

With spare, repetitive text and bright, torn-paper collage artwork, this picture book gives even the youngest readers a subtle sense of how everyday things are related — and inspires an appreciation for life’s simple gifts.

Thank You, Bees by Toni Yuly is praised for its minimalist style and its ability to communicate profound appreciation for nature's gifts. The book is considered an attractive and straightforward narrative that can also function as a nondenominational bedtime prayer for young children. With its simple yet effective text and paper-collage illustrations, it holds toddlers' attention and is ideal for storytelling during events like Thanksgiving or Earth Day. The book's message about gratitude and the interconnectedness of ecosystems is powerful despite its simplicity.
