  • A pileated woodpecker is included on each page – can you find it?

  • Make a gratitude paper chain by writing things you are thankful for on strips of paper and linking them together. Hang this decoration where you can see it and be reminded every day.

  • Borrow the e-audiobook of We are Grateful: Otsaliheliga from Ohio Digital Library and listen to it while you walk the trail. http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteId=76&titleId=5097156

  • We are Grateful: Otsaliheliga spans all four seasons. Which page matches the weather outside today? Take a photo of yourself in front of that panel and share it in the comments!

  • We are Grateful: Otsaliheliga features a family and the author’s note speaks about the importance of “those who came before us, those who are here now, and those yet to come.” Draw a picture of your family, and leave it for us in the mailbox at the end of the trail! We will post the family drawings on the bulletin board at MidPointe Library Liberty!
