Press Room : Appreciation Party Reviews
With catchy rhymes and colorful illustrations, this wonderful book conveys in a manner simple and easy to understand, the powerful message of appreciation. As Appreciakate puts it,
"Let us appreciate:
A loving family;
A warm, safe home;
Cuddly pets;
Fun toys of our own."
Appreciakate teaches us to appreciate everything around us, from the green trees to the friends who surround us.
This is a wonderful message to spread and it comes at just the right time. It strikes at the heart of the commercialism that permeates the Holiday season and teaches us that we're surrounded by wondrous things, appreciable things, if only we opened our eyes and really saw them. The second reason it's important is that it comes at a time when the economy has taken a severe downturn and lots of families are worried about the future. It helps us all at this time to look at the things we do have, focus on the positive rather than lament that which we don't have or have lost.
I personally feel that this is one book that no parent should neglect to share with their children! So make sure to visit Focus Friends today to buy a copy of this book as well as the previous book, Joy is the Greatest Gift, and share them with your family this holiday season. Both adults and children alike will be touched by the powerful message in these books.
