After a mother tells her daughter that she's remembering everything she has to be thankful for, the child pulls out Mama's scrapbook and asks, "What are you the very most thankful for?" The ensuing story follows the two as they page through the woman's memories. The girl expects each entry to be Mama's most thankful thing-a camp experience, winning a soccer trophy, her first job, getting married and Mama's refrained response is that it wasn't her most thankful thing. Ultimately, Mama describes holding her child for the first time, saying, "Forevermore you would be my most thankful thing." The comical captions on the cartoon-style "photographs" appear in handwritten lettering to fit the scrapbook layout. The warm words and pastel illustrations are playful representations of a child, teen, and young woman's memories. This is a wonderful, reassuring read-aloud for story time and for individual sharing.

When a little girl asks her mom what her "most thankful thing ever" is, Mom turns the question into a fun trip down memory lane. Turning the pages of Mom's photo album, they discover many wonderful moments in Mom's life, from summer camp to winning a trophy in a soccer tournament, from singing onstage to her wedding day. But one event in Mom's whole life is the very best ever - the birth of her precious little girl.

My daughter checked this book out from her school library and I started reading it to her without knowing I had something so special in my hands! By the last page I was in tears and so choked up it took me about half of a minute to regain my composure to finish the story. This is a heartwarming book that I am here on Amazon tonight to buy to keep for me and my daughter for now and for when she is all grown up, do not pass up this book, an instant classic! This is probably my new favorite children's book. |

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. Second, we see the permanent effect of motherhood on Mom: Forevermore, her child will be her "Most Thankful Thing." Get it for your daughter, but hang on to it for when she becomes a mom! |

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! An adorable book, illustrated as mom's scrapbook, with a very sweet message. So fun! |
