Celebrate Gratitude with J.R.!
About the Book
J.R. Gives Thanks is a heartwarming children’s book for ages 3–8 that teaches gratitude through everyday moments. As J.R. gives thanks for healthy food, family, friends, good health, and God’s blessings, children are encouraged to pause, reflect, and practice thankfulness in their own lives.
Written in simple rhyme, this faith inspired story supports early literacy, social emotional learning, and character development. Part of the J.R. book series by Dr. Sheila R. Thomas, it celebrates joy, reflection, and the power of saying thank you.
Whether it’s a sunny day, a good meal, or the warmth of friendship, J.R. shows us how to find joy in the “little things” that make life big.
