She isn't sure if the day seems different to them. But it does to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe puts the seeds in the first feeder. Then the second. She thanks the birds one by one. A patient woodpecker. A buoyant chickadee. A grumpy finch. Even an impatient squirrel, not waiting his turn, always demanding more, more, more! And a dog in the house who does not think the squirrel should be thanked--but Gracie knows gratitude goes both ways. She makes sure every one of them gets a share--and her thanks just for being there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGratitude can be found in giving as well as receiving. There is beauty in the small moments, and something to be grateful for each day. A tiny act can change someone else's day--and sometimes the birdsong is thanks enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eYolen, Jane:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJane Yolen\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003elives in Massachusetts and has written more than 400 books across all genres and age ranges, including the Sydney Taylor Honor book \u003cem\u003eMiriam at the River.\u003c\/em\u003e In 2022 she was named the The Sydney Taylor Body-of-Work Winner.
