No disrespect to turkeys, but it’s time to put a new face on Thanksgiving stories for kids! In the charming children’s picture book, Thankful FUR You, author Hillary Harper turns the tables on the typical turkey-themed tale and features a cuddly canine who (like a lot of folks) fears that Thanksgiving will be overshadowed by Christmas — or even skipped altogether. Perfect for preschool- and elementary school-age audiences, Thankful FUR You captures the spirit of the holiday and dishes up life lessons about the importance of gratitude and giving thanks.

“1-2-3, a deep breath for me,
4-5-6, blow it out like candlesticks,
7-8-9, everything will be fine,
when I get to 10, I do it again.”
​
1-2-3, A Deep Breath for Me focuses on teaching self-regulation skills and calming techniques to children who are experiencing anxiety.
Narrated from the perspective of an anxious dog named Mack, the book follows his journey of learning to cope with his uneasy feelings with the help of his new best friend, Gertie the puggle.
By following Mack's journey, children can learn breathing exercises, visualization techniques, and other self-soothing activities that can be practiced in their daily lives.
This book also serves as a valuable resource for parents and educators looking to support children's mental health.
