Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Finding Grateful
Dianne White · 2024
80/100
👍 Worth It
Dianne White's picture book earned a starred Kirkus review and a New York Times mention for good reason — the lyrical, spare prose and warm mother-daughter dynamic make gratitude feel genuinely alive rather than preachy. It reads aloud beautifully and speaks to faith-friendly and secular families equally. One of the stronger gratitude books for the ages-four-to-eight shelf.
