MY FIRST GRATITUDE BOOK

Emotional education for children

By: Floren Verdú

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A heartwarming story that teaches children the magic of gratitude and helps them see the world with new eyes. Because gratitude is more than saying “thank you”… it’s discovering the beauty that already surrounds them.

Mia returns with a new adventure filled with calm moments, forest discoveries, unexpected surprises, and tender acts of kindness. Through simple yet powerful experiences—like rainy days that turn bright, jars filled with happy moments, shared friendships, and mindful observations—Mia and Leo learn that gratitude has the power to transform how they feel and how they live each day.

This book is an emotional guide disguised as a story. Created for children ages 7 to 12, it gently helps young readers explore gratitude in a way that feels natural, practical, and deeply meaningful.

What will children find inside this book?

• An inspiring story that teaches the importance of appreciating the little things and noticing beauty in everyday life.
• Reflection prompts at the end of each chapter to help children understand their emotions and express them with confidence.
• Simple hands-on activities such as creating a “Happy Moments Jar,” writing thank-you notes, observing nature, and recognizing moments that spark joy.
• Mindfulness-based exercises for kids that encourage calm, presence, and emotional awareness.
• Warm, relatable stories that strengthen resilience, empathy, and emotional intelligence.

Why is this book different?

Because it doesn’t talk about gratitude as an abstract idea. It turns gratitude into small, real experiences that children can feel, practice, and repeat in their everyday lives. Because it doesn’t pretend that children must feel happy all the time. It acknowledges sadness, frustration, disappointment, and shows how gratitude can gently support them through all emotions. Because it offers tools that truly help. Kids learn simple habits that improve their mood, their relationships, and their sense of well-being without pressure, judgment, or perfection.

This book is a valuable emotional resource for parents, educators, therapists, and families who want to nurture emotional intelligence, resilience, and inner calm in a loving and practical way. It is perfect for reading together at home, discussing in the classroom, or using during emotional learning sessions.

A story that plants seeds of awareness, connection, and joy… and reminds children—and adults—that gratitude is a superpower every heart can learn to use.

A beautiful first step into gratitude

I found this book very sweet and thoughtfully made for young children. It explains gratitude in a simple, warm way that feels easy to understand and practice. Reading it together opened up small but meaningful conversations at home. A lovely tool for introducing emotional awareness from an early age.
