A vibrant, adventurous exploration of how thanking God and others brings wonderful gifts to our own lives, from the bestselling author and illustrator of When God Made You

I’ll ask God to help me see
What being thankful really means.
To help me know how gratitude grows
And in my life is seen.

Written in Matthew Paul Turner's signature rhyming style, When I Thank God helps kids understand the benefits of showing gratitude to God and others. Not only does it recognize everything God gives us and show love to the people God sends to bless us, but it does beautiful and amazing things in our own lives and hearts.

’Cause when I thank God
A change happens in me,
And I might get a glimpse of all I can be.
