Description


From New York Times bestselling author Susan Verde, writer Courtney Sheinmel, and illustrator Heather Ross comes a warmhearted picture book story about expressing gratitude, perfectly modeling how to write a great thank-you note!
 
When a surprise comes in the mail from Grandma, Sallie wants to text her right away: Thanks, Grandma!
 
But wait—how will Grandma know what Sallie is thanking her for and how it makes her feel? And every proper thank-you needs some swirlies, right? This calls for something special: a handwritten note.
 
The next day, Sallie hopes to get another package so she can write a second note. Nothing comes. But . . . she does get safely across the street on the way to school. Maybe that deserves a thank you!
 
Dear Crossing Guard . . .
 
With each new day, Sallie discovers more and more reasons to feel grateful. A warm and witty story about appreciating others, Sallie Bee Writes a Thank-You Note celebrates the simple kindness of saying “thank you.”
