BLURB:
Percy the green dinosaur explores practicing gratitude with the help of his friend Custard the unicorn, to turn his bad day around by turning his negative thoughts into positive ones.
As a society, we often tend to focus on the negative. Teaching children to practice gratitude and shift their mindset toward the positive can lay the foundation for a happier, more fulfilling life.

EXCERPT
“Yes, our minds are so much more powerful than you could ever imagine! How about we try and shift your mindset from focusing on the negative things to being grateful for the good things?” suggests Custard.
“We can try that. I don’t like feeling sad,” says Percy.
“What are some things that you love and are grateful for?” asks Custard. “Think of as many things as you can!” they encourage. “When I’m feeling sad, I try and think of all the things that I’m grateful for and what makes me happy, and soon I don’t feel sad anymore! I’m grateful for my pet dog Buddy and that it is summertime. I love summer!”
“Oh, I’m grateful for my mummy and daddy. I’m grateful for the cosy cave that we live in. I’m grateful for my toys, I’m grateful that I’m healthy, and I’m grateful for you!” exclaims Percy excitedly.

Our Thoughts
Percy is having a rough day, and it seems just to be getting worse From stubbing his toe to having his plans canceled because of the rain He has had enough His friend, Custard the unicorn, helps Percy to see the brighter side of things. Eventually turning Percy's terrible day upside down In The Grateful Green Dinosaur, the author focuses on how our feelings can alter our perspective and even influence our day Example When we focus on the negative, we tend to see only the negative Whereas when we highlight the positives, for instance, we get muddy puddles from rain, we tend to have a better day The tale is presented in an easy-to-understand story with colorful illustrations and cute characters that are sure to enchant any child I do believe that for younger ones, they will require a bit of help to convert the story themes
