"Thanks" is a bilingual English and Spanish non-fiction book with 28 full-color illustrations, created for children aged between 6 and 10 years. The aim of this book is to awaken gratitude in children, inviting them to find something to be thankful for every day among the things that surround them in their daily lives. How to use the book We suggest reading it at bedtime, as a little ritual before sleep, closing the day's activities. Children who can't read without the help of a loved one will add the word "Thanks" to the description of each of the pictures. After a while, even if they can't read yet, they'll be able to "read" the book to themselves. For children who can read on their own, we suggest that, as well as understanding the picture on each page, they should think of other reasons for saying "thank you", with the help of some of the suggested phrases. The aim is to add as many reasons to be grateful as can possibly be imagined. The book opens the door to a broader reflection Despite the simplicity of the texts, each phrase opens the door to a broader reflection, which may be performed in the company of a family member. The ultimate goal is to enrich children's vision, expanding their perception and attitude to everything around them, enabling them to understand how things work in our lives and discover that everything has a beautiful side that deserves to be recognized and valued. Positive psychology and the benefits of gratitude Multiple studies have shown the correlation between gratitude and increased wellbeing. Much recent work has suggested that people who are more grateful have higher levels of wellbeing, are happier and feel more satisfied with their lives. Grateful people sleep better, and this seems to be because they have fewer negative thoughts just before going to sleep. Considering how beneficial gratitude is for people, we believe that the sooner we can introduce this beneficial habit to children the better, thus ensuring that their lives will be happier and less stressful. "Agradecer" es un libro de no ficci???n con 28 im???genes a todo color que se ha creado pensando en ni???os de edades comprendidas entre los 3 y 10 a???os. El objetivo de este libro es despertar la gratitud en los ni???os, invit???ndoles a encontrar cada d???a, algo que agradecer entre las cosas que les rodean en su vida cotidiana. A pesar de la simplicidad de los textos, cada frase abre la puerta a una reflexi???n m???s ampl???a, que podr??? ser realizada en compa??????a de alg???n familiar. El objetivo final es enriquecer la mirada, ampliando la percepci???n de los ni???os hacia todo lo que les envuelve, para que comprendan cuantas cosas colaboran en nuestras vidas y que todo tiene un lado positivo que merece ser reconocido y valorado. ???C???mo utilizar el libro?Proponemos su lectura al acostarse, como un peque???o ritual antes de dormir, cerrando las actividades del d???a. Los ni???os no alfabetizados con el auxilio de alg???n ser querido, a???adir???n la palabra "Gracias" al significado de cada una de las im???genes. Con el tiempo, a pesar de no disponer de capacidad lectora, podr???n "leer" el libro de forma independiente. Para ni???os que ya leen de forma aut???noma, proponemos que adem???s de agradecer con la imagen que encontrar???n en cada p???gina, piensen en otros motivos por los cuales agradecer, con la ayuda de algunas frases que aparecen como sugerencia. El objetivo es a???adir tantos motivos que agradecer como uno sea capaz de imaginar.
