My Amazing Day: A Celebration of Wonder and Gratitude

 A board book for ages 0-3

With vibrant, engaging photography, this board book follows a young child’s day. Simple yet powerful words illuminate the joy to be found in everyday activities. The book ends with a meaningful, age-appropriate expression of gratitude, and a fun opportunity to connect each “thank you!” with its related activity earlier in the book.

My Amazing Day is one of very few books that addresses gratitude for the 0-3 year-old age group in a way that does not rely on any particular spiritual path. You can learn more about the compelling scientific studies in recent years regarding the benefits of expressing gratitude, read inspiring quotes related to gratitude, and share ideas for gratitude traditions here.

My Amazing Day is a 6” x 6” x 13/16”, 26-page board book.

A board book has thick pages which make it easy for little hands to flip and hard for little hands to rip.

My Amazing Day was released November 1, 2013. You can order here. Retailers and libraries, can purchase the book through New Leaf Distributing Company/Lotus Light or contact the publisher directly for terms.

This book is the collaborative creation of children’s book author and educator, Karin Fisher-Golton; award-winning photographer, Lori A. Cheung; and graphic and fine artist, Elizabeth Iwamiya. Read more about us here.
