Written by award-winning author Champ Thornton for ages 4û7 and illustrated by Brad Woodard, Why Do We Say Thank You? helps children see God as the source of joy, contentment, and every good thing.
With a parent section at the end to continue the conversation, it is a strong resource for families looking to address complaining, boredom, and gratitude in a way children can understand.
