Grateful!

Feeling grateful is like magic.

It is magical because it changes so many things in our life. It can change the way we feel in our heart, our head, and our body. It also can change how the world around us looks, feels, and even behaves because gratitude is contagious. In this choose-your-own-adventure-style book, readers are asked to help four kids just like them decide what to do in everyday situations. Take a step further with discussion questions and a feelings chart included in the back of the book.



- Meet Olivia who has to decide whether or not a note from the Grateful Jar is just what she needs to get her through the first few weeks of school.



- Learn about Elijah's busy day and help decide whether writing in his Gratitude Journal will help ease his mind before bed.



- Point Amelia in the right direction when it comes to showing gratitude to those around her even if she doesn't feel she has the time.



- Learn the power of gratitude and what it means to share it with the world when Henry makes a decision about greeting his favorite teacher at the beginning of the day.



About the Choose Your Own Attitude series: There are many things in life that we can't control. We cannot decide much of what happens to us, however, we can decide how we react. That is where the Choose Your Own Attitude books can help. Using techniques author Gail Hayes, M.A. has developed through her work as a counselor, Grateful! explores the choices we make when dealing with everyday situations that may make it hard for us to find gratitude and the impact those choices have on how we think and feel.
