What's on our bookshelf....



Thank You, World written by Alice B. McGinty and illustrated by Wendy Anderson Halperin


This quick but soothing read is wonderful for beginning to talk to your child about thankfulness. Here is a description from the book jacket:

"The joys of childhood are the same the whole world over. In this compelling book of celebratory rhyme and glowing pictures, eight very different kids, from eight different countries, all go about their day and experience the same moments of happiness: greeting the sun in the morning, swinging on a swing, flying a kite, being tucked in by Mommy at bedtime. Uplifting and visually rich, this book reminds us that the world isn't as large as it seems, and that life's greatest pleasures are the simple ones."

The amazing crayon-drawn pictures are sure to transport you to the different countries and experience their days along with them. Enjoy!
