Descripción editorial
Unfolding the history of a blessed tradition, this delightful picture book explores the role God played in our country's earliest history and how His blessings endure today. From hungry Pilgrims and generous Native Americans to the ample feast of a modern-day family's Thanksgiving, author Harold Myra helps children-and parents-learn how to enjoy this holiday to its very fullest.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This Christian-themed tale sinks under the weightiness of the author's efforts to stress the religious significance of the holiday. Mom and Dad gently reject popular nicknames like Turkey Day, then describe the first Thanksgiving to their children: "The Native Americans brought five deer. And everyone feasted together for three whole days," says Dad; "How cool is that?" adds Mom. As the kids decorate the windows, Dad works in Moses ("Too bad we don't have a Moses decal. He's part of Thanksgiving, too") as well as the story of Jesus and the 10 lepers, before "foster kids" arrive to celebrate the meal. The tale winds up obscuring the holiday's nondenominational appeal. Ages 3-8.
