Thank You, God, for Blessing Me


Gratitude is something that is not necessarily second nature to young children.  Preschoolers need to be taught that virtue.  Max Lucado's book, Thank You, God, for Blessing Me, uses Hermie the Worm to delightfully demonstrate how all of the every day little things in Hermie's life are good starting points for gratitude.

In this book, your child will find Hermie thanking God for friends, family, flowers, stars, leaves, two eyes and eight little buggy feet.  Even the very young child will recognize many of these gifts from God.  This book will be an excellent starting point for you and your children or grandchildren or favorite young people to open the discussion on what we can be thankful for each day.  It is short, but it has a powerful message.

The illustrations, from the cover to the last page, are colorful and engaging.  Thank You, God, for Blessing Me is another winner that you will want to add to your young person's collection. When those preschoolers in your life ask you to read it again and again, I think you will enjoy it just as much as they do.

I received this book from Tommy Nelson Publishers so that I might give my honest review.  The opinions expressed here are my own, as I am not required to write a positive review.
