Gracie Feeds the Birds -- Jane Yolen

<p> <strong>A quiet, meditative look at how simple acts of gratitude and kindness can bring peace and joy to our day, even when the kindness isn't necessarily reciprocated.</strong> </p><p>On a crisp fall day, Gracie feeds the birds. She isn't sure if the day seems different to them. But it does to her.</p><p>She puts the seeds in the first feeder. Then the second. She thanks the birds one by one. A patient woodpecker. A buoyant chickadee. A grumpy finch. Even an impatient squirrel, not waiting his turn, always demanding more, more, more! And a dog in the house who does not think the squirrel should be thanked--but Gracie knows gratitude goes both ways. She makes sure every one of them gets a share--and her thanks just for being there.</p><p>Gratitude can be found in giving as well as receiving. There is beauty in the small moments, and something to be grateful for each day. A tiny act can change someone else's day--and sometimes the birdsong is thanks enough.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Jane Yolen, Peter Tacy<br><b>Publisher:</b> Magination Press -- American Psychological As<br><b>Published:</b> 09/09/2025<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781433845659<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8
