The Thank You Book . . . Teaching Small Important Lessons
Stock # SSK-302 $9.95 |
"The Thank You Book," playfully illustrated by Arthur Robins, contains an important message. In an age where good manners don't always seem to count, both Robins
and author Carole Stuart encourage readers to indulge in the magic of using two very important words -- thank you.
"The Thank You Book" follows a sister and brother through the course of
one day and shows the surprising number of times a thank you is appropriate. Thank for holding the door open; thank you to the bus driver for a ride to school; thank you in French, German, and Japanese,
even thank you for a bed time story and a hug goodnight.
If you want to teach your children this important lesson without preaching, this wonderful book is a fun way to do that!

"The Twelve Gifts of Birth"
"Once upon a time, a long time ago, when princes and princesses lived in faraway kingdoms, royal children were given twelve special gifts when they were born. You may
have heard the stories...each fairy godmother pronounced a noble gift upon the royal baby..."
Written by Charlene Costanzo, this book is a heart-warming reminder that every
new life is entitled to the noble gifts once reserved for royalty in the fairy tales: strength, beauty, courage, compassion, optimism, joy, talent, imagination, reverence, wisdom, love and faith.
As the author passes along the "secrets" that the wise fairy godmothers wanted us all to know, she begins, "At the wondrous moment you were born, as you took your first breath, a great
celebration was held in the heavens and the twelve magnificent gifts were granted to you. The first gift is strength. May you remember to call upon it whenever you need it." Throughout the book,
each of the remaining twelve gifts is revealed, accompanied by 25 beautiful hand-tinted photographs (by Jill Reger) and 15 watercolor paintings (by Wendy Wassink Ackison). We wish we could show you the
photographs throughout this wonderful book, but we just couldn't do them justice. They truly are treasured photos of children in their finest moments.
When presented to new parents, The Twelve
Gifts of Birth helps them nurture the wondrous qualities that have been bestowed on their tiny miracles. The book contains a powerful message for children of all ages, and the child in every adult. This
inspirational book nourishes hope and vision for a better world.
Hardcover, 64 pages. Approximate dimensions 8 inches x 9 inches.
GIFT MESSAGE: This book also provides a dedication page for you to write a personal message to the recipient. Or, if you would like us to complete the dedication for you to mail to a 3rd party, just complete the information in the order block to the right, and we will handwrite your message before shipping to baby (you won't get that service from the larger book retailers!).
At a loss for words? Let us help with a simple, yet meaningful example: "Dear baby Jessica. The world awaits you! May you remember these twelve gifts
throughout your journeys."
