Beautiful Books That Show Kids How to Be Grateful

Nov 13, 2023

Gratitude: It's something that's talked about a lot during the holiday season, but an ongoing practice of gratitude can also benefit your child's overall well-being every day of the year. 

Fun books are a great way to teach your child a gentle gratitude practice. For example, little readers will love the adorable tale of Teeny Tiny Turkey. Written in lyrical rhyme and with eye-catching, colorful illustrations, kids will join a teeny tiny turkey as she thinks about what to bring to share at a harvest party she will be attending with her friends. Will Teeny Tiny and her pals find the perfect way to help and be thankful? 

Meanwhile, older readers will adore the hilarious adventure of Bumble and Bee in Bumble and Bee #3: Let's Bee Thankful as they try to convince Froggy to join them on one last fall adventure before his winter rest. 

Here are the best books for teaching your kids the importance of gratitude, saying thank you, and recognizing the abundance in their lives at this very moment. Explore more remarkable picture books, and browse all books and activities at The Scholastic Store
