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!
