Samantha recommends Thankful by Eileen Spinelli and Archie Preston.
“Thankful is a heartwarming picture book for children, parents, and families to read together during the holiday season. Readers will enjoy the charming rhymes, whimsical illustrations, and the important message that there are so many everyday blessings for which to be grateful! Look closely to find the little things in life and you will truly see how blessed you are.”
