Count Your Blessings

When adults "count their blessings," they usually count those things that are beyond a child's understanding.

This book helps children learn that everything is a blessing, especially ordinary things like puddles, hugs, and snuggly toys.

This is an early lesson in gratitude, optimism, and the abundance of life's riches that are hidden in the everyday. Both comfortable and familiar, the rhymed text and the photos include the elderly and children of both genders (a reminder for those kids who doubt that siblings are a blessing).

The blessings are numbered from one to ten, helping the text work as a counting book as well.

For all Christian denominations, children ages 0 to 5. The heart of the Walking with God Board Books is the Gospel message of love.

The books also affirm family love and essential values, using a fun format that will charm both adults and children.

In addition, the books help adults answer the perplexing "big" questions of life that little kids ask so often. With black-and-white photos by an award-winning photographer and a team-up of two of Paulist's favorite creators of children's books, the series is a can't-go-wrong choice for parents and grandparents, care givers and gift givers, Christian day-cares and preschools, parochial and Sunday schools, home schools, and pediatricians' offices.
