Experience the benefits of gratitude - be happier, healthier, and more connected! Thankful Frankie is a beautiful story that encourages a habit of gratitude in both the children and adults who read it. Frankie, an adventurous kid, loves toys and materials things more than anything. Frankie always carries a large pack filled with toys, games and gadgets -- things believed to bring happiness and joy, until one day the toy pack is left at the park. Frankie is inconsolable until Frankie learns to find gratitude for the simple things in life. Thankful Frankie is more than just a book as it enables the readers to connect on a meaningful level as they share and discuss things, people, places, and events they are thankful for. Instilling gratitude at a young age has many benefits that can positively affect our everyday lives. Each book includes discussion prompts at the end, creating space for children to write, draw, or dictate what it is they are thankful for.
