Beautiful words and touching illustrations. A wonderful expression of thanks to share with our children and each other.
A ceremonial Thankfulness blessing from the Iroquois people, translated into a beautiful children’s book. This is a nice book to read and reflect at any time of year and especially at Thanksgiving. I love the bold illustrations as well.

I love this book! I also appreciate that both the author and illustrator are Indigenous.
This was something any reader should appreciate. It is all about being thankful for the small gifts in live that make us happy. For food, water, sun, beauty, etc. It does take the perspective from a Native American belief in thanks the great Spirit but for those that do not follow this believe, the concept still remains. The artwork is simplistic but lovely. Just reading the words and looking at the images. It gives an almost serene feeling.Kids can enjoy and then mention things things they are thankful for and trying to learn the source of what makes them happy.
It is important to give thanks for all we have! Mother Earth has definitely provided for us, thank you
I loved hearing this read aloud, but feel like I was missing something without the pictures.
Aside from beautiful art work and an accessible message, the author gives helpful background information for non-Natives. I would absolutely include this in any study of Native Americans or Thanksgiving.
