Teaching gratitude and kindness are two themes that I gravitate towards heavily when picking out books for my family and I to read. "Ways to Make Sunshine" sounds perfect! We recently found a beautiful picture book that was perfect for reading aloud (and discussing afterwards) called "Mia and Nattie: One Great Team" by Marlene Bell . Mia goes to her grandma's farm and finds a sickly little lamb, Nattie, who she takes under her care and nurses her back to health. Nattie doesn't fit in well with the other animals and Mia understands the feeling because she has similar issues with kids her age. As their bond grows Mia finds out that Nattie might be sold to the neighbors and has to come up with a way to show her family that Nattie is her most cherished pet and friend. A great read for the whole family. Hope you and your readers will check it out. Happy Holidays
