As the sun rises, a young girl named Mana begins a gentle journey of gratitude, awareness, and love. With an open heart and curious spirit, she greets the new day by giving thanks for all that shapes her life-her family and friends, moments of laughter and play, meaningful challenges, and even the deep emotions that help her grow.Inspired by the ancient prayer "Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu"-May all beings everywhere be happy and free-this beautifully written children's book introduces young readers to the power of mindfulness, compassion, and self-recognition. Through Mana's reflections, children are lovingly guided to acknowledge their own inner light and understand their connection to the world around them.Written in soothing, rhythmic language, the story encourages children to slow down, tune in, and recognize that every experience-joyful or difficult-has value. Mana's morning ritual becomes a sacred moment of self-expression, teaching readers that gratitude is not just about what feels good, but about honoring the full range of being human.Perfect for bedtime, morning routines, classroom discussions, or family reading, this book supports emotional intelligence, spiritual curiosity, and heart-centered conversations. It gently affirms that divinity is not something outside of us, but something we carry within.A meaningful gift for children and adults alike, this story plants seeds of kindness, presence, and universal love-reminding us all that when one heart opens in gratitude, it helps light the way for many others.
