This is a rather simple picture book that delivers a warm message. The book follows a young boy throughout his day, from the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed. He describes his blessings throughout the day, such as "my favorite book, my teddy bear" and the pictures beautifully illustrate the text. I love the message of this book, it's the simple blessings thats matter, and they are all around us everyday.
