How The Sun in the Rain Teaches Gratitude

Unlike books that label feelings explicitly, The Sun in the Rain weaves its gratitude lesson naturally. Mommy honors her daughters disappointment, then gently redirects attention to the warmth of a rainy day indoors. Children absorb the lesson without being lectured: beauty is always nearby if you look for it.
