This beautiful photographic board book was written in thanks. Award-winning author Richard Van Camp wanted to express his gratitude for all that surrounds him and his family. The strength of their connections, the nature that provides for them, the love that is endless. Complemented by photos from photographers who celebrate their own gratefulness on the collective blog tea&bannock, the simple verse in May We Have Enough to Share is the perfect way to start or end your little one's days in gratitude.

(synopsis from Goodreads)

This is a lovely little board book. I first encountered Van Camp's work in Little You, another simple picture book for toddlers. May We Have Enough to Share combines sweet sentiments of gratitude and love with beautiful photographs from tea&bannock, a collective blog of indigenous women photographers.

The text is simple yet profound, and little ones will probably love looking at the photos of babies, children, and families (some of them are really lovely). This would be a nice addition to any toddler's library.

Thank you to NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for providing a digital ARC.
