What a great story! I learned so much from this little book. It is light on picture and it is more of an early reader with lots of words. It has pictures tucked away in the text.
I know the story of Thanksgiving - all my education every focused on. It didn't become a national holiday until the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln - news to me. It was all thanks to Sarah Hale. She wrote letters to 5 presidents before one listened to her. Sarah was the editor of 2 women's magazines and she wrote many articles getting her readers to see the need to a national day to give thanks. Thanksgiving holiday is ALL THANKS TO SARAH HALE. Oh course, a woman would understand the need to gratitude during those divisive times.
There are stories about when the turkey pardon take place, but the tradition of pardoning the turkey began with George H. W. Bush in 1989. I also didn't know this.
I found this book so interesting and I learned so much about our country. I say pass this Book Around! Happy Thanksgiving!!
