A lovely book that discusses different harvest/thanksgiving festivals and holidays around the world. A nice starting point if teachers and caregivers want to de-emphasize the American mythology that Thanksgiving was just about the Native Americans celebrating with the pilgrims and instead share the ways in which harvests are celebrated around the world.

I love how this book talks about how people celebrate the harvest around the world. I think it's very important for kids to be connected to how food is brought to their table. I'm going to read a little bit from this book each week this fall (since the kids are little and have a very short attention span).

I know libraries struggle with texts about Thanksgiving and harvest. This is a good one that focuses on the multicultural aspects of harvest, gathering, and thanksgiving. And not just the American accounting of it.
