9 Kids Books About Gratitude Perfect For Thanksgiving!
Looking for some great Books to Teach Gratitude to your kids this Thanksgiving?
Books are a great resource for teaching without personally preaching to your children. Through the stories powerful principles can be clearly illustrated in a way easy for your kids to understand. Because these principles are illustrated so easily though a story they are more likely to make a lasting impression.
Here are 10 of my favorite kid's books that teach about Gratitude perfect for the Thanksgiving Season.
1.The Giving Tree
This is one of my favorite books as a child. I loved the example of the loving tree who is willing to give everything for the boy she loves. Which contrast sharply with the selfishness of the boy who thinks only of himself.
2.The Berenstain Bears Count Their Blessings
My kids love the Berenstain Bears books. In this one Mama bear teaches her cubs about how to be grateful for what you have instead of always thinking of what you do not.

I love this Dr. Seuss hits it home with how lucky we all really are. “When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad . . . you should do what I do!”

This Charming book is filled with Rhymes and delightful Illustrations all geared toward showing thankfulness.
