Emperor's True Treasure: A Story About Gratitude and What We Already Have

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.
