    I received my copy in the mail last week. It is exactly what I hoped it would be. The illustrations are great! I am an elementary music teacher, and this will be the perfect tool to use at the end of mysogwriting unit this month! I love the song and it's simple but truly profound message! I listen to the song over and over again!

  • This song echoes thru your happiest memories
    author: Mark D. Messersmith

    Juhn Bucchino is an amazing writer - I've obsesssed over other pieces from his Grateful cd, but taking this song and illustrating it for children was a brilliant idea. When I feel lucky or accomplished, strains of this song cement the moment and allow me a little prayer of gratitude. It's a sweet song and charming illustrated book for young children - A++

  • What a wonderful gift for a child.
    author: Charles St. Ama

    While I would have selected a different artist to do the vocalization, the CD sends a clear and definite message...one that we should all be greatful for the many blessings we have. What a wonderful way to teach a child this concept. This was a gift for a mother to share with her newly adopted daughter.
