Thank You, World by Alice B. McGinty

Beautiful illustrations and poetic language combine in Thank You, World, to tell a tale of gratitude for the simple things in life. Snapshots of children all over the world, enjoying the richness of nature, make us feel that the world isn't quite so big, and we are more alike than we are different.
