Description
In, A Thanks Big Enough, Nova gives homage to essential workers that help keep us safe, healthy, and functioning during unprecedented times. From first responders to last responders and every worker in-between, she looks at the importance of their roles. After examining the workers' roles, Nova realizes that they all make outstanding contributions and feels like there is no way to say thank you in a way significant enough to show how much they are appreciated.
She is inspired to do something creative to show her appreciation. However, she feels like making a card will not say enough to express her gratitude, so she explores ways to pay her gratitude forward by helping others and being kind.
This thank you note in the form of a children's book is suitable for all ages.
It teaches gratitude and appreciation while recognizing how essential workers risked their lives and safety to help others.
