"This simple, bold, lively book reminds us that each day is a gift during which we can breathe, move, share, and experience the opportunity to live our lives to their fullest." - Rachel Glasser, Association of Jewish Libraries
We start the day ready to move, to dance, to wiggle, and to sing with joy in this book inspired by the Jewish prayers of gratitude for waking up to a new day. Modeh ani means "thank you," or "I am grateful" in Hebrew. A cheerful introduction to the idea of daily gratitude, prayer and mindfulness for young children.
Sunny illustrations feature a variety of ages, ethnicities, and physical abilities. Includes a note for families that explains the prayers Modeh Ani and Asher Yatzar.
