TEACHES GRATITUDE

The Thankful Tree

Every November, the big maple in the backyard turns the color of a sunset, and every year the family hangs thank-you leaves on its branches. This year, your child gets the very first ribbon, but the leaf is blank and finding the right thank-you is trickier than it looks. Luckily, a chatty squirrel named Pip is happy to help.

Customer Reviews

Our new dinner-table tradition

We read it before dinner and then everyone wrote a leaf. My six-year-old thanked “the dog and the couch.” I teared up a little.

Priya S.

She’s the star of the story!

My daughter kept pointing at the pages and saying, “That’s me!” Reading a story with her name in it makes bedtime feel extra special.

Natasha L.

The sweetest gift

We gave this to our grandson for his birthday and he wouldn’t put it down. A book we’ll treasure together.

Christopher L.

Worth every page

The first time he saw his name on the cover he gasped. Now he “reads” it to his baby sister every single night.

Tamika J.

Grandma cried

We mailed one to his grandparents and they said it was the best gift they’d ever gotten. They read it on every video call.

Daniel O.

She asks for it by name

It’s the first thing she grabs at bedtime. We’ve read it so many times I know it by heart, and I don’t mind at all.

Sofia R.

Lovely quality

The pictures are bright and the pages feel sturdy enough for little hands. It already looks like a keepsake.

Kevin & Ana M.

Bedtime without the battle

Having his own name in the story got him to brush his teeth and climb into bed on his own. I’ll take it.

Jasmine T.

A little hero at home

Our son walks taller when we read it. He tells everyone at school that he’s in a book.

Owen B.

Perfect for siblings

We made one for each of our girls and now they trade and compare. Zero fighting, which is a first.

Fatima A.

Better than a toy

She still plays with the toys from her birthday, but the book is the one that comes everywhere with her.

Luis G.

We read it twice a night

I figured it would be a fun novelty. Instead it’s become the story she asks for before all the others.

Hannah P.

Great for a new big brother

We gave it to our four-year-old when the baby came home. It helped him feel like the star again.

Terrence W.

So thoughtful

I was nervous about whether it would look like him. The little details made me smile, and he loved it.

Grace N.

Our favorite gift to give

We’ve now sent these to three nieces and nephews. Every parent has texted us a photo of them reading it.

Marcus & Dee H.

Calm and cozy

The story is gentle and the ending is perfect for winding down. She’s asleep before we turn the last page.

Isabel C.

He wants to be the hero again

He saw the character and said “that’s me!” right away. We’re already planning the next one.

Raj K.

Teacher approved

I’m a kindergarten teacher and I’ve read a lot of picture books. This one holds a child’s attention from page one.

Courtney S.

A keepsake for the shelf

Years from now I’ll love looking back at this one. It feels like a snapshot of who he is right now.

Andre L.

My shy girl lit up

She doesn’t say much around new people, but she read her book out loud to the whole family. We were so proud.

Yuki T.

Easy to say yes to

The free preview made it easy to try, and when we saw her as the hero we were hooked.

Brian D.

Worth the wait

Printed to order, so we waited a little. It was worth it the moment she opened the box and squealed.

Camila F.

Family movie night, but a book

We pile on the couch and read it together. It’s turned into a new little family ritual.

Nate & Julia P.

Made her feel seen

She has curly hair and doesn’t always see that in books. Seeing herself on the page meant the world to her.

Olivia M.
