I read this as an audiobook.

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook with my family. My two year old was able to repeat some of the words that she heard. The narrator’s voice was calming and fitting for the meditative nature of this book. I think the pace is good from 2 year olds to 10 year olds.

I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review.

G is for Gratitude is a sweet and uplifting alphabet book that helps young readers explore the power of thankfulness. With gentle rhymes and colorful illustrations, each page introduces a new way to express or understand gratitude—from appreciating small everyday moments to showing kindness to others.

This book is perfect for preschool and early elementary-aged children, offering simple yet meaningful lessons in emotional awareness and positive thinking. It’s a great conversation starter for parents and teachers to talk about empathy, mindfulness, and appreciation.

A heartwarming and beautifully illustrated book that teaches kids the joy of being thankful—an inspiring read for home or classroom.

This author is new to me and I absolutely loved this book. It is a great book for a family home library, children’s library, religious library, it would be a wonderful gift in any child’s hands. It’s also just a general great reminder for adults of all the things in the world we have to be grateful for. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you NetGalley and MacMillian Audio for the opportunity to review this audio ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Giving G is for Gratitude a 3/5. My son was a bit bored. I liked the meditative aspect of it, the narrator definitely had a soothing voice. I’m not sure what age group it’s meant to be for but it kind of sounded like a self help book but for kids. And there were some like deep meaningful and reflective parts , and others that seemed out of place. Overall I liked the positive message!

my young toddler really enjoyed this audiobook, the narration was great
I loved this take on your typical ABC book, the way it's centered around being thankful for what we have. we will be adding this title to our car listening material rotation

I thought this was a really great guide to basic mindfulness for kids, and I liked that it addressed anxious feelings. I think it would be a great part of a bedtime routine for any kid.

This title immediately got put into a cart for purchase less than a minute into listening to the audiobook version. The book is part self care, part mindfulness, and part gratitude. I like it!

I often use alphabet books in my class and was excited about "G is for Gratitude". Unfortunately, it focuses more on the ABCs than on gratitude itself. Additionally, I doubt it will engage young readers due to its writing style. Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

*G is for Gratitude* by Samantha Berger is a charming and thoughtful A–Z book that introduces young children to the values of self-compassion, kindness, and gratitude. With each letter, the book offers simple but powerful messages that encourage positive character development and meaningful interactions with others. It’s the kind of book that helps build emotional awareness in an age-appropriate, accessible way.

The tone is sweet, encouraging, and perfectly suited for small children. Whether it’s teaching kids to appreciate themselves, be kind to others, or express thanks, each page reinforces gentle reminders that truly matter. The audiobook experience is especially delightful — the narrator’s calm and soothing voice creates a peaceful atmosphere, and the addition of soft background music and subtle sound effects makes the listening experience engaging and comforting.

I highly recommend *G is for Gratitude* for anyone who wants to promote kindness and inner strength in young children. Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the Advanced Listener Copy — this book is a beautiful addition to any child’s library and a joy to listen to.

As a mother and therapist G is for Gratitude id a great book. The gentle tone of the audiobook creates an environment that feels both nurturing and soothing, making it an ideal companion for children as they learn about the importance of gratitude.
.It’s clear that every phrase was thoughtfully chosen to inspire a sense of appreciation in the listener. As a mother and a therapist, I've seen firsthand the power of introducing young children to concepts like thankfulness, and this audiobook does so in a way that's not only engaging but also deeply impactful.
I’m so grateful to have received an ARC of this audiobook through NetGalley. It’s a gem that both children and their parents or caregivers will want to return to again and again, fostering a practice of gratitude that can last a lifetime.

G is for Gratitude, written by Samantha Berger and narrated by Melissa Sewak, is a kind and inspiring book written for young readers. This book goes through the alphabet, and reminds children things that they can be thankful for. I loved the different ideas, the sound effects, and the way the book was introduced. Readers are reminded that when they feel overwhelmed or frustrated, they can remember to be grateful and thankful for what they have. I can see this as being a very helpful and positive book to introduce children to practices of gratitude, mindfulness, and reflection.
Thank you to NetGalley and to the author, narrator, and publisher for an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

More of a mindfulness exercise, this would be good for older kids who are learning more about socio emotional learning strategies, anxiety management techniques, and healthy attitudes. It might be a good exercise to listen to as students lie down in a dark room, or participate in yoga exercises.

I think it makes a good audiobook because its easier to concentrate on breathing and relaxing when we are listening than reading visually and trying to relax.

I’m honestly somewhat questioning who the audience is for this book. From what I can tell, the artwork heavily suggests it’s geared toward children—but then you get to the language of the book and suddenly it just feels like most children are going to listen to this book one time and lose all interest. And forget about any young emerging reader being able to read this themselves. The language is pretty high for younger kiddos, definitely not something that they can read when just starting out.

ABC books are the sort that I usually expect to match a younger vocabulary and engage children by supporting them in their journey of learning how to read. I can’t see how parents could reasonably do so with this book. And I guess I should have known, given the title, but it honestly didn’t occur to me until I was already reading.

As it stands, the book as a whole isn’t super memorable. It’s kind of a run of the mill ABC book with words that seem a bit too advanced for kids. It’s not terrible or anything, but I just don’t know that I’d recommend it.

The narration overall also wasn’t memorable and I didn’t really care for it. Nothing about the voice seemed able to keep younger readers engaged, thus making it seem far better to have parents read this one to the kiddos. They’d need to, anyway, so they can explain the meaning for some of the larger words.

Alphabet books are some of my favorite for early childhood. They introduce unique vocabulary while also developing letter recognition. Expanding vocabulary is important and children understand more than we give them credit for but some of the concepts in this book maybe a bit advanced for the target audience. I listened to this book with my 5 year old daughter who had many questions about some of the terms. Hope for the letter H was explained in a way that confused her. It was a good conversation so that made the read worthwhile. Thank you NetGalley for the Digital ARC of this book.
