My First Taggies Book: The Thank You Prayer

Thank you for the world so sweet. Thank you for the food we eat. Thank you for the birds that sing. Thank you, God, for everything. My First Taggies Book: The Thank You Prayer from Scholastic is a soft, irresistible cloth book with Taggies — the beloved satin ribbon tags that babies and toddlers instinctively seek out, finger, and return to with a focused, self-soothing joy that parents recognize immediately — featuring one of the most well-known and most beautifully simple thank-you prayers in the devotional tradition. A delightful way to introduce prayer and gratitude into a new parent and baby’s everyday routine, this cloth book makes the thank-you prayer as soft to hold as it is meaningful to share, as sensory-rich as it is spiritually warm — a read-aloud for any occasion and a gentle, faith-filled addition to the daily rhythm of a family who wants to say thank you, together, from the very beginning.

Why Babies and Parents Love It

• The Taggies satin ribbon tags are one of the most universally recognized and most deeply beloved sensory features in the baby product world — the satin loops that babies discover, finger, and claim as their own with a quiet, focused intensity that parents find both completely endearing and entirely fascinating, a sensory experience so instinctively satisfying that Taggies products become among the most reached-for, most carried, and most genuinely needed comfort objects in a baby’s earliest months, making this cloth book the one that stays on the changing table, the nursing chair, and the crib side for years
• The thank-you prayer — “Thank you for the world so sweet, thank you for the food we eat, thank you for the birds that sing, thank you, God, for everything” — is one of the most gently memorable, most rhythmically beautiful, and most accessible first prayers in the devotional tradition, a prayer so simply and so perfectly expressed that babies absorb its rhythm before they understand its words and come to know its meaning through the warmth and the regularity of the moment in which it is always read, making every reading a small act of faith and every page turn a step toward the gratitude practice that families want to build from the very beginning
• The soft cloth format gives My First Taggies Book: The Thank You Prayer the physical gentleness and the tactile safety that the very earliest baby books require — a book that can be held against a cheek, mouthed safely, squeezed in a fist, and returned to a hundred times without losing its softness or its shape, making it as much a comfort object as it is a book and as natural a part of the daily routine as a swaddle or a song
