Emma's Gratitude Garden


Emma loved playing in her garden. She had beautiful flowers, delicious vegetables, and happy birds singing.


One day, Emma's mom asked her to help water the plants. Emma was happy to help.


As they watered, Emma's mom asked, "What are you thankful for in our garden?"


Emma thought for a moment and said, "I'm thankful for the flowers that make me happy, the vegetables that give us food, and the birds that sing sweet songs."


Emma's mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Emma! Let's make a gratitude garden to remember all the things we're thankful for."


Emma and her mom created a special garden with stones, flowers, and pictures of things they were grateful for.


Every day, Emma would visit her gratitude garden and think about all the good things in her life.
