Grow Grateful cover

Kiko goes on a camping trip with her class and learns about gratitude!

Throughout the trip, Kiko discovers different things she appreciates about her family, friends, and opportunities. This story is based on the “theory of mind,” which is the ability to take the perspective of others and recognize that each person has their own thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. Growing gratitude leads to greater happiness and stronger interpersonal relationships. Also included is a Reader's Note that provides contextual advice, healthy-mind tips, and more ways for growing gratitude in kids.

Grow Grateful is a fun story about gratitude that is also an ideal read alongside Curious George Goes Camping by Margret Rey and H. A. Rey, Llama Llama Loves Camping by Anna Dewdney, Pete the Cat Goes Camping by James Dean and Kimberly Dean, Goodnight, Campsite by Loretta Sponsler and Olga Shevchenko, and the Exploring Nature Activity Book for Kids: 50 Creative Projects to Spark Curiosity in the Outdoors by Kim Andrews.
