Gracias - (Somos8) by Jarvis (Hardcover)

About the Book

"From oversized plants that offer hiding places to boots that somehow know the way, from siblings who bravely take the first plunge to yourself for being you, award-winning picture-book creator Jarvis spans the gamut from the silly to the sublime and opens the endless possibilities for giving thanks"--

Book Synopsis

¡Hay muchas cosas a las que dar las gracias! A las botas por mostrarnos el camino, al cepillo de dientes por la sonrisa o a la bañera por sus burbujas... Un inspirador álbum que invita a que las niñas y los niños enumeren lo que les hace felices.

Un niño da las gracias a todo lo que le gusta: a la lluvia por crear los charcos; al tiranosaurio por ser la palabra más larga que conoce; al amarillo y al azul por el verde...
Un relato poético y divertido en el que, a través de la tierna mirada de un niño, se muestra la importancia de las grandes y las pequeñas cosas.

-----

I thank the moon for the night time. I thank the sun for the day. I thank my boots for knowing the way...

There is so much to be thankful for! In this happy and hopeful picture book for the very young, we see the world through a child's eyes as he thanks all of the things that give him joy - the sun, his bicycle, the jelly in his bowl, and so much more.
A book that inspires children to think about what they might like to say "thank you" to, too!
For the first time in Spanish!
