THE BOOKS

The two-book set is made up of the Bean book and the Cornbread book. One friend takes one book. The other friend takes the other.

Alone, each friend fills in prompts about the other.

Then, they SWAP journals. Now each person holds the book they keep forever.

Each friend reads and laughs and possibly cries happy tears. Then they reach an ‘After the Swap’ section. That is the journal’s private space to write about the experience of giving and receiving gratitude.
