An amazing list, Erica! Thank you so much for making these in a printable format (so I don't have to write them all down). I can't wait to get some of these and read them to the family. Picture books are classic--kids of all ages love them!

Thanks for this list! There are several I don't know. My favorite book to read around Thanksgiving is Boxes for Katje by Candace Fleming. While it isn't exactly a gratitude book, it's based on a true experience of the author's mother and includes letters of thanks. It takes place just after WWII when the people of Holland were suffering and Americans sent boxes of food, clothing, etc. to help the people of Holland. I can't get through the book without crying and it definitely helps me remember all that I have to be grateful for. I read it to my 3rd graders each year and send it home with students to read with their families.
