Otter B: Thankful is the tenth in a series of children’s books that teach young children basic biblical character traits.

In Thankful, Otter B’s friend Franklin takes a trip to the Race Car Museum, and Tabitha gets a new scooter—but instead of being happy for them, Otter B is jealous. While Otter B is feeling sad, Felicia and Roscoe arrive with their Gratitude Jars. Together, they show Otter B all the things they have to be grateful for. Otter B stops feeling sad about the things he wants and learns to be thankful for everything he has.

Each book ends with a rhyme that reinforces the lesson and includes an appropriate Bible verse.

“When you’re sad ’cause you can’t get
the things you want or see,
try giving thanks for what you have.
It’s how you Otter Be!”

(1 Thessalonians 5:18)
