Thank you, sun. You give us light. You shine all day until the night. You warm our planet as you burn--and ask for nothing in return.

From lofty mountains that peak our interest, to wind that lends a breeze, to soil that's truly down to earth, there are countless things to be thankful for on our planet. Filled with fun facts about nature and clever poems perfect for reading aloud, young readers can learn about the natural wonders of planet Earth and thank them for making the world go round!
