Wouldn't it be wonderful if children grew up knowing what abundance truly means and how it relates to the practice of gratitude?
When we learn to be grateful, we experience abundance in our lives and see our glass as more full... we all have something to be grateful for. That is precisely the lesson Mimi and her friends learn in this story.

In The Glass of Water, written simultaneously in English and Spanish, Ximena Vargas Lacayo invites children, families, friends, and teachers to join the practice of gratitude so they can learn to appreciate the small and great blessings they receive every day.
The second part of the book consists of mindfulness activities for families to do together, which encourage the practice of gratitude.

This book is a wonderful gift for childhood, a valuable teaching resource, and a fabulous tool for developing 21st-century skills: it touches hearts, empowers, and redirects children's gaze towards a world full of values and empathy.
