When I Thank God Book

When I Thank God is a vibrant children's picture book that invites young readers to discover the transformative power of gratitude. By Matthew Paul Turner, illustrated by David Catrow, this beautifully crafted story explores how thanking God and others brings wonderful gifts into our own lives.

Perfect for ages 3–7, the book unfolds in Turner's signature rhyming verse, guiding children to understand that gratitude does more than acknowledge blessings—it creates real change in our hearts and opens our eyes to who we can become. Through engaging illustrations and meaningful words, When I Thank God teaches young ones that a change happens in me when we practice thankfulness, helping them recognize the people and blessings God sends our way.

I'll ask God to help me see what being thankful really means. To help me know how gratitude grows and in my life is seen. A gentle, joyful introduction to spiritual growth and emotional awareness for early readers.
