Picture Book Review: Thanksgiving Books


There are so many things to love about Thanksgiving and this board book covers them all. 

The cozy illustrations are adorable! 

Peyton is a picky eater, but she's determined to try a piece of pie this Thanksgiving. There are So many pies to choose from - and none of them sound good to her.

This book made me crave pie in the worst way. Also, I loved the idea of looking at things at little bit differently. There is an apple pie recipe in the back of the book.

Students in Robin Hill School sharing why they are thankful. 

The why and how Thanksgiving became a national holiday - Americans not First Peoples. 

I do like how this book focuses on gratitude and not the first Thanksgiving celebration. 

The first Thanksgiving told by a grandmother from the Wampanoag perspective. 

Written by one of the First Peoples, this book talks about the Three Sisters - corn, beans and squash and how valuable they were to the newcomers that first year. They call Thanksgiving their day of mourning as the majority of First Peoples died from disease and warfare. An important story to have the collection that showcases the other side of history.
