REVIEW: HAPPY WORLD GRATITUDE DAY!

9/21/2021

0 Comments

 
Now and then, I think the world needs a little reminder to be grateful. So, how nice that there is a holiday to do just that. Here is a picture book that, through prayers, poems, and blessings, also reminds us to be grateful for all we have: 
​TITLE: FOR EVERY LITTLE THING: PRAYERS, POEMS AND BLESSINGS FOR CHILDREN TO CELEBRATE THEIR DAY
POEMS SELECTED BY: June Cotner & Nancy Tupper-Ling
ILLUSTRATOR: Helen Cann
PUBLISHER: Eerdmans Books for Young Readers/2021
OPENING LINES: 
 
FOR EVERY LITTLE THING 
by Nancy Tupper-Ling
 
For morning song and gentle brook,
a faithful friend, a favorite book,
for robin’s eggs and swinging trees,
the daffodils and dancing bees--
Picture
This lovely collection of prayers, poems, and blessings is a soothing reminder of things for which to be thankful. Divided into sections like Morning, Love and Kindness, Family and Friends, Nightfall, and more, the book is suited to read any time of day and any time of year, but the lulling rhythms of most of the poems are particularly suited for bedtime. Helen Cann’s watercolor, collage, and colored pencil illustrations depict the natural world around us. Her use of soft lines and muted color scheme are perfectly paired with the poems selected by June Cotner and Nancy Tupper-Ling. If you’re looking for a morning, daytime, or bedtime read with uplifting poems and prayers, this is a great one!
