Nicole Thomson, originally from Fort Frances is back in town to talk about her children’s book on gratitude.
FORT FRANCES -- According to author Nicole Thomson, writing her first children’s book was a labour of love.
Thomson, who is an educator originally from Fort Frances now living in Geraldton, will be doing a book reading at the Fort Frances Public Library Technology Centre on Thursday. Her book titled, “The Little Things: Finding Gratitude in Life’s Simple Moments” was released last year. Thomson said on her website that she wrote the book to “help children understand what gratitude is, and why it’s important to practice it.” Thompson added, “we live in a world where it's more important than ever to slow down and appreciate the little things we have to cherish.”
The two children in the book represent her own. “Through the cycle of gratitude, they’ll see that the more thankful we are for the good things in our lives, the more we will have to be thankful for,” she wrote. “And it’s the little things that make a big difference.” The event, which will include a reading, a book signing, and a craft, takes place at 1:30 p.m. in the children's department at the library.
