Why kids love Giving Thanks
A rhythmic and chant-like flow
The repetitive structure of the Thanksgiving Address creates a soothing cadence that allows children to anticipate and join in the recitation.
Nature as a vibrant community
The text speaks to animals and elements like the wind or stars as though they are personal friends, making the natural world feel relatable and alive.
Visuals that celebrate earth tones
The warm and detailed illustrations immerse children in the textures of the outdoors, from the soft fur of animals to the expansive glow of the sun.
A sense of quiet wonder
The book avoids loud action in favor of a peaceful atmosphere that makes the reader feel like they are sharing a sacred secret with the universe.
