# Thankful - Hardcover

by **Elaine Vickers** (Author), **Samantha Cotterill** (Illustrator)

**Stunning, diorama illustrations bring to life this** **"wonderfully evocative" (_BookPage_)** **lullaby of a picture book about celebrating everyday things that make life wonderful.**

_I am thankful for a home where I am safe and warm._  
_Thankful for parents who read me stories and comb my hair gently, gently._  
_Who whisper the same poem every night when they tuck me in._

When the first snow falls, a little girl writes down the things she's thankful for on strips of paper and links them together. As one idea leads to another, her chain grows longer. There's so much good in her life: a friend, things that are warm, things that are cold, color, things that can be fixed. This beautiful story is a much-needed reminder to observe and honor life's small joys.
