by Dawn Casey

Description
In this simple rhyming story from the author of Held in Love, a child says thank you for the gifts nature provides, from hazelnuts in the hedge to apples from the tree, eggs from the hens to milk from the cow. Eventually, the family has enough ingredients to make something special ... a delicious apple cake!.Tags

First things first: the illustrations are some of my favorite. I love Genevieve Godbout. Her book "Goodnight Anne" I adored when I found it in Victoria, BC, Canada. So Genevieve's illustrations of a family getting ready for apple cake fully capture the thankful spirit.
This book was dubbed as a "Thanksgiving, but not" book. Truly, it is about being thankful and expressing gratitude. But there aren't the usual Thanksgiving elements (even including pumpkins on that list) to be found. Not that I personally have an issue with Thanksgiving elements ;) Still, patrons will love this book. It feels year round to me.
Because isn't gratitude something that should be practiced all the time?
