About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is struggling to remember their manners, or when a simple 'thank you' feels forced and lacks genuine feeling. Part of the 'Kindness Club' series, this gentle early chapter book follows Fox as he learns a valuable lesson about appreciation. When his friends do something wonderful for him, Fox has to figure out not just how to say thank you, but how to mean it. The story explores themes of gratitude, empathy, and the joy of strengthening friendships through kindness. Its warm, supportive tone is perfect for children ages 6-8 who are ready for a story with a bit more text but still need a clear, comforting message about navigating social situations.
