Gratitude is essential to a fulfilling life, but how do we teach children about gratitude? We do that by making the concept easy to grasp and then by practicing it.
The Frog and the Sakura Tree tells the story of a little frog who discovers the beauty of being thankful for what he has. While the book's target age group is pre-K through elementary school-aged children, readers of all ages will be inspired to appreciate their own blessings and life's little wonders.
As an extra resource for parents and teachers, the story is followed by a discussion about gratitude and an exercise called "Lily Pads of Gratitude."
