The Secret of Saying Thanks, by Douglas Wood

"We don't give thanks because we are happy,
we are happy because we give thanks."


In The Secret of Saying Thanks, Douglas Wood  uses nature, home and family to inspire children to appreciate and give thanks. 



As you turn the pages of this beautiful book, a young child and her dog will take you and your children on a magic carpet ride, connecting with nature and the gifts it gives us everyday, like the rising sun, the colorful flowers, the trees and the breeze.

Wood also emphasizes to children to be grateful for food on the table and family to share it with, all the while, getting closer to unfolding the "secret"...... the "Secret of Saying Thanks".

The artistic expressions by Greg Shed and the inspirational text by studied naturalist and international best selling author, Douglas Wood, are a journey worth taking for a lesson worth learning.
