Her mom talks to her about how the world is different and instead of feeling sad to feel gratitude. Alice doesnt understand the meaning of gratitude so her mom explains its good hearted feeling. They go for a walk and laugh at the funny looking cloud animals in the sky. Then they sit under a tree as Alices mom tells her a fairy story about an old magical tree who is sick and how the woodland fairies use the special power of gratitude to spread good hearted feelings to help the trees feel better.Alices mom finishes telling the story and suggests every day they write what makes them feel grateful. To encourage expressing feelings of gratitude the last page is interactive for children to write or draw what makes them feel grateful. A delightful fairytale with a magical lesson about the importance of gratitude. An enchanting picture book with fairies and gratitude as its main theme. Enchanting words and story by Linda Appleby.
