AUDIENCE APPEAL: SEVERAL

A young girl and her mother start walking home after their car breaks down in the street.  Her mother tells her that she doesn't need a map to find grateful, and that she just needs to notice the little things and be where her feet are.  Can she find grateful in dandelions, drops of sprinkler on her tongue, an ice cream cone, or a warm hug after she falls?  What is this feeling that makes her heart as light as the sun?

Finding Grateful encourages the reader to realize that even when they are going through challenges, they can still find reasons to be light hearted and grateful for the world around them.  Cheerful, positive illustrations help the reader feel connection and hope.
