Common Questions

Are these Thanksgiving stories about the history of Thanksgiving?
No. They are about gratitude, sharing and family, the parts of the holiday young children feel most. They work at home and in classrooms of every background.
What age are the Thanksgiving stories for?
Ages 3 to 8. Most take two to six minutes to read aloud, so one fits before bed or at the table.
Is there a Thanksgiving activity to go with them?
Yes. The free Thankful Jar opens a slip a day for the week before Thanksgiving, each with a story and a thankful question, and prints as a jar for the table on the day.
