LoveReading4Kids Says
A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month March 2024
Jarvis has created a delightfully surprising and wonderfully simple book of ‘thank yous’ that is beautiful, amusing and inspiring. It gives readers new ways of looking at and thinking about the natural world including sunshine and trees, and everyday objects such a traffic lights and a toothbrush! as well as some abstract concepts like ‘boots for knowing the way’.
Full of talking points, this is a book to share again and again.

Thank You Synopsis
I thank the moon for the night time. I thank the sun for the day. I thank my boots for knowing the way…
There is so much to be thankful for! In this happy and hopeful picture book for the very young, we see the world through a child's eyes as he thanks all of the things that give him joy - the sun, his bicycle, the jelly in his bowl, and so much more.
Jarvis creates beautiful collage art in this first book of gratitude; a book that inspires children to think about what they might like to say "thank you" to, too!
