Ok, guys. I have a little secret: Thanksgiving books miiiiiight be my FAVORITE holiday genre (ok, ok…right after Christmas). I just looove all the rich illustrations and the sweet messages of family, story-telling, tradition, and gratitude. These are the kind of books that make you want to curl up next to the fireplace with your kiddos, a cozy blanket and some hot chocolate! I hope you like my picks & find something new to add to your holiday book collection! Don’t forget to scroll for picks from years past!
And don’t tell anyone but I MIGHT like this year’s selection more than last year’s!
Ok, welllll, I had all intentions of keeping this year’s “new finds” to like 3 books, but holy SMOKES! I can’t believe how many precious books I dug up this year. I just had to share them all! (Click links for book descriptions to find your favorite few! )
