What people are saying:
“The fact that If You're Thankful... doesn't have a plot or any main characters (other than the few present in the illustrations) is what really intrigued me. It was a very different take on a children's picture book, but a very effective one! This approach allows readers to not get too wrapped up in the story belonging to the book’s characters while allowing them to still make connections with the content of the book and their own lives. Young readers will interpret the main message of the book (being thankful) as applying to their own lives much more easily than they would if there were characters mentioned in the story. If You're Thankful... actually challenges readers to make their own connections and think of other things that aren't mentioned in the book, things in their own lives for which they can be thankful.” Recommended. — CM: Canadian Review of Materials
