Sometimes, the gifts we take for granted are the very gifts most deserving of our appreciation.The Grateful Child, a new book by author Michael Brett McHaffie, calls attention to the small yet invaluable aspects of our selves: hands for holding a loved one; feet that propel us to exploration; a voice to trumpet our joy.
With a foreword written by Jesse Dollemore, McHaffie’s narrative honors these simple wonders in lyrical prose. Supporting the text, internationally renowned illustratorLeah Farshid(and fellow Dollemore community member!) brings each page to life in striking visual detail.
A perfect book for young people, and any person who identifies as young-at-heart,The Grateful Childreminds us that our bodies and our beings are treasures to be celebrated!
