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 joyful and heart-warming picture book, little ones will learn to appreciate the simple things in life through the eyes of a grateful child. From the sun that shines down on them to the jelly in their bowl, every page bursts with a celebration of the little moments that make life so sweet.
Jarvis’s vibrant collage art is a feast for the eyes and the soul, and with a charming mix of the goofy and the profound, this book of thanks encourages children to contemplate what they are thankful for and inspires them to seek the good in the every day.
'A beguiling tale that encourages little ones to be grateful and express thanks for the wonders of the world, Thank You is adorned with a host of richly evocative images.' – Waterstones list of Children’s Books You Need To Read In 2024
