Thanks a Million by Nikki Grimes
Poems that express a word of thanks for teachers, friends, parents, weekends, books, neighbors, our homes, families, and ending with a Thanksgiving poem are all great selections for elementary students to read. A rebus poem is also included.
This is a great selection for African American History month as the author is African American.
Students could write their own poems of gratitude after reading and discussing these poems.
