THIS ISN'T A BOOK (IT'S MY THANKS IN DISGUISE)

This isn't a book. It's my thanks in disguise. Just because you are truly fantastic, that's why. It's my thanks for the big stuff you work hard to do. And my thanks for a whole bunch of smaller stuff too.

This might look like a book but it's really oodles of gratitude you get to give! It's a chance to throw someone a tiny ticker-tape parade - one they can attend simply by turning the page. With the perfect blend of whimsy and wit, the illustrations and rhymes in this bighearted gift book are here to help you thank someone for the difference they make, in ways both big and small. Gift it to a generous volunteer, a great coworker, a much-loved pet sitter, a dependable neighbor - anyone who brightens your world just by being in it.
