A father passes on to his son the gift of seeing the beauty around him — and giving thanks.

Thank you, Mother Earth.
Thank you, Father Sky.
Thank you for this day.

How can a young boy ever show his gratitude for all the beauty he sees? He will learn from his father, who thanks the earth and the sky, the frogs and the crickets, the hawk and the deer — even the trees that wave their arms in the breeze. Majestic as the most beautiful autumn day and filled with glimpses of favorite woodland animals,

Giving Thanks is truly a gift to readers from nature-lover Jonathan London and master painter Gregory Manchess.
