Look and Be Grateful

Celebrate the joy in things large and small in this meditative picture book. “Today is today, and it is a gift,” writes Tomie dePaola, best-selling author-illustrator of Quiet, in this simple ode to gratitude and mindfulness.  Simple and sweet, Look and Be Grateful is a reminder to treat each day as the blessing it is. Illustrated with Tomie’s signature soft lines and gentle colors, a young boy awakens with the dawn, opens his eyes and looks closely at his world. He admires all that surrounds him, large and small, from the radiant sun to a tiny, but exquisite, ladybug. Gentle and lyrical, Look and Be Grateful is a simple expression of gratitude, ideal to share with the youngest readers and adults alike.
