Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Gratitude is My Superpower
Alicia Ortego · 2021
79/100
👍 Worth It
Alicia Ortego earns her place in the social-emotional learning picture book space with a story that does more than preach thankfulness — the five-day journaling activity at the back turns a single read-aloud into a week-long family practice. The rhyming text is engaging, the message is clear without being preachy, and the magic stone is framed as metaphor rather than anything concerning. A genuinely useful book for parents and teachers looking to build a gratitude habit with young children.
