My Review

It's bedtime and after brushing his teeth and zooming to bed in Mom's airplane arms the little boy begins reminiscing about his day. He recalls ways he could have been more helpful like when mom needed assistance picking tomatoes and he decided to play instead. He also shares things he's thankful for like playing soccer and catching frogs.
This is a delightfully whimsical story with bright and playful illustrations. I love that it reminds children and parents that each day offers so much to be grateful for. All we have to do is take the time to notice.
I highly recommend picking up a copy. Available on Amazon.
