My Grateful Book
According to science, gratitude is one of the most important ways for us to feel happier. Finding things to be grateful for provides us with so many wonderful psychological, physical, and interpersonal benefits.
It improves our health, reduces stress, and helps us focus on the positive. Stepping back and being thankful for what we have gives us energy, inspires us, and transforms us. It helps us realise that life is truly a gift.
We can encourage our children to express gratitude in a number of creative ways. One of the most popular and effective ways is to keep a gratitude journal. It encourages us to acknowledge the positive moments in our day, no matter how insignificant they may seem.

My Grateful Book by Diana Smith is an enchanting book which gently touches on the little things for which a child, or an adult, can be thankful. Whether at home or at school, out of doors or in the water, observing the rain or enjoying sunshine and rainbows, there are always gifts around us, if only we can train our eyes to look for them.
Diana Smith teaches us to take delight in the little moments around us which add so much to our lives, whether those moments involve fish or flowers, butterflies or broccoli—yes, broccoli! Skillfully weaving soft hues and vibrant colour, illustrator Sara Jane Marchant effectively brings the prose to life, guiding us along on a beautiful journey of gratitude.
