Celebrate the natural world and the timeless gift of gratitude with this lyrical picture book about the interconnectedness of all living things.
From award-winning author Deborah Wiles and illustrator Bao Luu comes an exuberant and heartwarming picture book tribute to the things that connect us all-nature, love, and gratitude.I hear the song that nature singsthat links each heart to mine.The ocean blue, the sky abovethe forest with its pine.For a young brother and sister, every day spent in nature is an adventure, and every natural marvel they encounter is a gift. Together, they run through fields of tall grass and say thank you for the rain; they greet fish in babbling brooks and say thank you for the clear blue waters. At the end of each adventure, they say thank you for the new friends they collected along the way.When given a chance to do more than say thank you, the siblings gather their tools-their friends, their shovels, and their watering cans-and plant the seeds of gratitude.
