Publisher's Description

Perfect for graduation, Thanksgiving, and the new year, Each Day is a Gift is a beautiful present that encourages gratitude for children

When we receive "a brand-new bike kind of gift" or "a trip-to-the-amusement-park kind of gift," it's easy to be grateful. But when we encounter an "extremely un-asked-for" gift, it can be harder to appreciate what matters. Full of wisdom and affirmations, this thoughtful picture book shows the beauty in everyday living, making it a standout in gratitude books for kids.

Each Day Is a Gift gently reveals how gifts' purposes are not always clear immediately, and while we can't choose what gifts we receive, we can choose how to use them. Detlefsen's prose describes events that we might not consider gifts at first in ways that makes us thankful, and Vasilica's light-filled illustrations show how even the hardest things can be made meaningful. Together, they encourage us to embrace each day with mindfulness.

Give this great children's book as a gift for a new baby, for elementary graduation, high school graduation, or as a birthday gift book for someone special in your life.

Every morning,

when the sun peeks over the horizon

with a yawn, and a stretch, and a sigh,

another day is delivered to you

like a gift waiting to be unwrapped

and used

and loved.
