Teaching Children the Joy of Saying “Thank You”

A grateful heart can change the way we see the world. In Standin’ Tall with Gratitude, children discover how two simple words—“thank you”—can strengthen friendships, brighten someone’s day, and fill their own hearts with happiness. Through the delightful adventures of Mr. Bear, Mr. Badger, Mr. Rabbit, and their woodland friends, children see the difference between gratitude and ingratitude and learn how appreciation can transform relationships at home, at school, and in everyday life. Later, they follow Jenny as she learns that expressing gratitude to family and friends opens the door to happier relationships and a more joyful life.
