Before the hustle and bustle of the back to school, take some time to share these wonderful books with your children celebrating gratitude and thankfulness. 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.
Call ahead to your independent book shop and they can tell you if they have these titles and if not, they can order it for you. You can also just 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?!
