Amy Parker's book, Night Night Blessings is a gentle book that you can read with your children. What I enjoyed most about the book is that it begins teaching kids to cultivate an attitude of thankfulness from an early age and to recognize the blessings that are around them. The illustrations are warm and gentle. When I read the story to my kids, I asked them what they thought of it. They enjoyed it and will no doubt want me to read it again.
The book takes you throughout a child's day and points out blessings that your child can be thankful for, beginning with a stack of pancakes to playing games with friends. Other blessings mentioned are toys, pets, God's creation, time with family, bath time, and bedtime prayers with Mom and Dad.
This book would be ideal to read at the end of the day as you are tucking your kids into bed. It gives kids an open door to talk about the blessings in their own life that they thank God for and teaches them how to talk to God. I would suggest this book for pre school to early elementary age children.
I was provided with a copy of this book by Book Sneeze in exchange for my review.
