Bookroo's summary

Lil Pup dreads the hibernation season, fearing loneliness in the Great North Woods. With Mama's guidance, he discovers the joy of autumn and the power of gratitude. Can he find happiness in the season's simple pleasures and learn to cherish what he has? Join Lil Pup on a heartwarming journey of thanksgiving and friendship.

From the publisher

ECPA BESTSELLER Adventurous Lil Pup is bummed that hibernating season will soon be coming to the Great North Woods. Why should so many of his friends have to go in for the winter and leave Lil Pup without pals? Mama reminds her little wolf that not all animals hibernate, and how he can be grateful for the beautiful autumn season - for jumping in leaf piles, eating apple treats, and celebrating the wonders of fall with his forest friends. And she points out… “I think the trick to having a thankful heart is thinking about the things that make us happy, rather than the things that don’t.” As Mama and Lil Pup explore, she reminds him that God is the giver of all good things. Lil Pup learns that even when something fun comes to an end; his heart can be thankful when he sets his mind on the best things in his life. This inviting addition to the best-selling God Gave Us series, with nearly 2.5 million books sold, helps little ones to understand how giving thanks warms hearts and brings joy.
