Chuck and Michele Beale first wrote this story more than 25 years ago as a gift for their grandchildren. What began as a family treasure has now grown into a message for children and families everywhere. With 10 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, the Beales believe that gratitude and positive thinking are keys to a joyful, peaceful life. Now in their eighties, they continue to cherish family, celebrate life, and inspire others with hope and encouragement.
