The Praying Mantis: Why Is It Called Praying Mantis?
Join Manny the curious little mantis on a heartwarming journey of gratitude, patience, and kindness. Living in a beautiful garden, Manny loves watching butterflies, bees, ants, and all the wonderful creatures around him. But he often finds himself distracted and unable to stay focused.
One day, Manny meets a wise old cricket who teaches him a simple habit: to pause, be still, and give thanks for the many blessings in his life. As Manny learns to appreciate the sun, the leaves, his friends, and the world around him, he discovers a peaceful way to live each day.
When other insects notice Manny's thoughtful habit of bringing his front legs together while giving thanks, they begin to wonder about him. Soon, Manny's gentle example helps explain how the praying mantis got its famous name!
Filled with charming illustrations and an uplifting message, The Praying Mantis teaches young readers the importance of gratitude, mindfulness, kindness, and appreciating the beauty of everyday life.
Perfect for ages 3-8
Moral: Take time each day to be still, give thanks, and treat others with kindness.
