Give Thanks
A children's book can be a great tool to teach your children valuable lessons of life. In a world full ups and downs, and a wide diversity of people and circumstances, it can sometimes be difficult to find the beauty in life. As children, it can be even harder to find gratitude, with so many things being out of their control. Whether it's not getting a toy they wanted or having a bedtime, children can often become frustrated with their limitations and even begin comparing themselves to others (as we all have been guilty of at times). In this book, you will find a small list of things in our bodies that we can be grateful for, while also pointing to the majesty of our Creator. The details God put into even simplest functions of our body is often overlooked. This book attempts to highlight those small yet powerfully impactful things, as a reminder that life itself is a reason to be grateful. Whether young or old, we can all find something in this book to identify with and give thanks!
