Think about what you have instead of what you don’t have. Decide the glass isn’t half empty, but that the glass is half full. In other words, be grateful for what you have, and stop thinking about what you don’t have. After all, it is really true that the best things in life really and most certainly are truly free!

Written and illustrated by award winning author attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, this fun, ‘learn to read’ book, filled with word recognition, word repetition and rhyme, is meant to not only increase your reading skills and reading vocabulary, it is also meant to get a kid thinking. So think about things that are important to you, as you consider what it means to be grateful for what you have. Try your hand at making a book of your very own about something important to you, and then make a book of your very own!

When you are all finished, you can go to the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel; and you can watch the free music video that goes along with this fun-filled Penelope Dyan ‘learn to read’ book!
