Sweet and brilliant tribute to the mother-daughter bond

"The Most Thankful Thing" is an adorable celebration of the bond between mother and daughter. The bright illustrations go through a scrapbook of mother's memories as daughter tries to guess what her favorite thing was. This leaves a memorable story that is told through pictures as well as words. It's sweet, charming, and full of heart.

Reminds my son of how special he is

Touching!

I fell in love with this book immediately. It is touching on a couple of levels: First, through her scrapbook, Mom shows the daughter how wonderful an "ordinary" life can be.

A great book to give your daughter!

My kids and I fell in love with I LOVE YOU, STINKY FACE years ago, and we are thrilled that Lisa McCourt and Cyd Moore have a new book. THE MOST THANKFUL THING is a charming book to share with your daughter. You can guess what mom's most thankful thing will be, but each turn of the page leads the little girl on a journey through her mom's past...days of summer camp, and high school, and dating, and James Taylor concerts!...
