Gratitude Is the Practice of Noticing What You Have Before It Becomes What You Had.
Emperor Zhan has hundreds of rooms. Thousands of servants. Gold enough to fill a river. He has never once waited for anything. And yet - something is missing. The night before his birthday, he rides out alone. No banners. No guards. Just a man on a horse. When his horse stops at a farmhouse window, he is invited in to a stranger's table - three generations crowded around it - and finds the secret of his life waiting in the simplest possible answer. A quiet, fable-shaped picture book about gratitude.
