Little ones will snuggle up close as they enjoy this charming, cozy book about being thankful. Eileen Spinelli, bestselling and award-winning childrens author, charms with rhymes and whimsy in Thankful, perfect for any young reader and their family. Book Synopsis Celebrate everyday blessings, practice thankfulness, and observe the wonderful acts of service that keep us going each and every day. This is a wonderful book for any First-day school library.About the Book Thankful, by bestselling and award-winning childrens author Eileen Spinelli, combines charming rhymes and whimsical illustrations to convey the importance of being thankful for everyday blessings. Taken together, they offer an age-old lesson in gratitude: be thankful for the little things, which are the only things that matter. If the words and illustrations of Thankful were separated, it would produce two completely different books.
Spinelli’s poetry offers a contrast to the softness of the watercolor domestic scenes of Preston. This is a picture book with simplicity and depth. Of the many touching children’s books that Spinelli has written, Thankful is a standout with its simple yet endearing text. The book inspires appreciation for many things: some very small, others imagined, but most importantly those done for us by others. The children’s interactions with their home, parents, and each other are precious moments to be thankful for. As we watch the children through autumn-colored illustrations, we are allowed to pause and be thankful. It is a journey of appreciation experienced by two children on a summer day.
The story is a bouncing poetic rollick through imagination, play, and family. Thankful shines a light on the everyday things that inspire gratitude. I am thankful for this picture book by Eileen Spinelli with paintings by Archie Preston. By Eileen Spinelli, illustrated by Archie Preston.
