Thank You, God: from Kids Around the World

As Thanksgiving nears, Allia Zobel Nolan's children's book, Thank You, God: from Kids Around the World, published by Zondervan, offers an opportunity for children to "discover what their friends in Egypt, Russia, Africa, China and other lands are grateful for - things like koala bears, northern lights, windmills and more."

Publisher's Weekly calls the book "a colorful introduction to gratitude, tolerance and world geography for preschoolers of all ethnic backgrounds."

A former senior editor at Reader's Digest and a prolific author, Zobel Nolan has written more than 150 adult and children's books. Her latest is Laugh Out Loud: 40 Women Humorists Celebrate Then and Now…Before We Forget, a collaboration with the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop.
