Teaching Children about Gratitude

Before the hustle and bustle of the holidays, take some time to share these wonderful books with your children celebrating gratitude and thankfulness. With all the talk of Black Friday, shopping, gift-giving and the general attitude of more, more, more; take a moment to be thankful for all you already have and use some of these books to teach your children to do the same. And let’s hope that some of those crazy stores decide shopping on Thanksgiving is INSANE, and give their workers a day of rest.

You can also reserve these titles at the library. Most libraries allow you to do that online and then they will let you know when to come pick it up. How easy it that?!

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

The Quiltmaker’s Gift by Jeff Brumbeau

“A quiltmaker helps a selfish king learn that giving is the true secret to happiness.”

Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig

“Sylvester’s sweet story is one that endures, reminding us all that sometimes what we have is all we really need.”

“A colorful picture book that will warm the hearts of children and adults alike, each of its pages contain endearing examples and vibrant illustrations to inspire children to grow into grateful, caring, and giving people.”
