A bird's-eye-view of a blue table as a family uses it throughout the day...eating breakfast, making crafts, preparing a dinner, and coming together as a community.

Storytime:
Thanksgiving

Super simple but really great. It'd make for a pretty bomb storytime (mental note to show it to storytime peeps).

It was hard to tell what some of the pictures were, but it was a heartfelt book

It was a good one for talking about gratitude and sharing and such. Definitely one where the discussion between reader and read-ee(?) is essential.

Super simple text and illustrations showing only a tabletop and the various objects and foods that get placed on it depict two families coming together to share a meal. Though not overtly Thanksgiving-holiday related, the foods placed on the table do include a turkey, potatoes, and apple pie and the text does mention that the families "come together - thankful", so you could swing this one as a Thanksgiving book if you needed to. Or it could be an anytime kind of book for storytimes about meals or food or friends or family.

This is a nice, quick story to add to our holiday (adjacent) repertoire. Nothing too special, but not everything has to be. Definitely not long enough to read in a pre-school story time, but it would be good for our playgroup for babies and toddlers.
