This week Bashful Book Bee has Thanksgiving on her mind, and HOW THANKFUL she is that we live in a country where we are FREE to read what we want~

I am Thankful that our children live in a nation that CELEBRATES thankfulness. Thanksgiving and its foundation is what this week’s Bashful Book Bee BOOK of the week is all about. "Thank You, Sarah" by Laurie Halse Anderson is a wonderful book that gives readers the facts on the establishment of Thanksgiving as a national holiday for America. Sarah Hale is the dynamic woman who persisted for over 38 years in her endeavor to save the holiday. The book has colorful appealing art work that will capture children’s interest. The storyline gives added emphasis on Sara’s strengths of perseverance, persuasive writing, courage in taking risks and hard work. Every teacher should use this great book as a must read for each November!

Other great Thanksgiving books that Bashful Book Bee recommends are:

• Turkey Pox, also by Laurie Halse Anderson…a great Thanksgiving book that tells the story of  when snow nearly spoils tradition Nana uses a twist to save the day~
 

• Firefighters Thanksgiving by Maribeth Boelts…a Thanksgiving book that shows the duties our Firefighters face when working on the holiday, while being a fun rhyming story for children.
 

• An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving by Louise May Alcott…This Thanksgiving book would be a great resource for teachers, to use to show students what Thanksgiving of the past on the prairie were like.
 

Bashful Book Bee hopes all of our readers have a blessed Thanksgiving with friends and family.
