As the first celebration of the holiday season, Thanksgiving has always had such a special place in my heart. I love the excitement that comes just before the holiday and how the excitement grows even higher once it’s done. I’m excited to share with you four Thanksgiving books that will be perfect for sharing this year.

When you’re watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and enjoying all the balloons, have you ever stopped to wonder just who invented them? This book is about Tony Sprag, the puppeteer and inventor, who dreamed up these friendly creatures in the sky and figured out how to create them. This is a fun read with lots of collage-style illustrations.

Each page of this book is dedicated to a different moment of gratitude. Sometimes they are big things like family and sometimes they are small things like toys but all of the pages serve as a reminder that it’s important this season to sit in a moment of gratitude for all of the things we have.
