Whimsical yet deeply sincere, this thank you book celebrates someone who deserves bighearted praise—perfect for teachers, coworkers, volunteers, and friends who make life your better just by being in it.

“I suspect you might actually not be aware, but things just go better whenever you're there. You know how to help, who to be, what to do. The difference is clear. The difference is you.” —An excerpt from This Isn't a Book (It's My Thanks in Disguise)

This might look like a book but it’s really oodles of gratitude you get to give! It’s a chance to throw someone a tiny ticker-tape parade—one they can attend simply by turning the page.

With upbeat rhymes and playful illustrations of a sweater-wearing kitty, this bubbly book celebrates the people who makes your life a little brighter. A delightful alternative to a thank you card, it’s like a confetti cannon of appreciation, just because.
