Thanksgiving books are a wonderful way to reinforce the values of gratitude and family for children. I love our Thanksgiving book collection because it’s so heartwarming, and a great reminder of what’s most important in life.

I Am Thankful

I especially love rhyming books. This one is beautiful and so much fun to read. I love children’s books that give me a tiny tear (not a full sob like The Giving Tree– augh!). This book makes us really, really thankful.

Peyton Picks The Perfect Pie

The illustrations in this book are amazing. This story is about a little girl who is a particular eater and how she isn’t sure she will like any of the pies, but loves it in the end.

The end of the book also has an apple pie recipe that I can’t wait to try. This book is festive and perfect to read just before Thanksgiving.
