Chicken Soup for the Soul BABIES: Say Thank You, Little Giraffe (But Why?)

Chicken Soup for the Soul Babies imparts good values through heartwarming and humourous stories to help little ones put their best foot forward.

When Little Giraffe’s parents try to teach her to say, “Thank you,” she repeatedly asks, “Why?”

It isn’t until her friends Zebra, Meerkat, and Monkey help her make a special dish for their community meal that she begins to understand the feeling of gratitude. When Little Giraffe feels a wonderful warm sensation in her heart, she truly begins to grasp the meaning of the words thank you.

This light-hearted board book playfully addresses being grateful.
