Here's what one young reader (Mara Cobb) had to say about Sarah's Thanksgiving;

“Sarah’s Thanksgiving” by Dina Mann and published on meegenius.com is an informative, yet entertaining picture book. Kate believes that the Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated Thanksgiving by eating pie and canned cranberries. However, when Grandma comes over for Thanksgiving, she tells Kate differently. Grandma asks Kate if she knows the story of the first Thanksgiving, which leads to a discussion about Sarah Hale, a writer and editor who wanted Thanksgiving to be observed as a national holiday. Sarah wrote to many congressman and senators, never giving up. Finally, President Lincoln said that Thanksgiving shall be observed every year. While hearing Grandma’s story, Kate learns the real meaning of Thanksgiving—to be thankful for school, family, and for Sarah Hale, the Mother of Thanksgiving.


Throughout the story, each word is highlighted as the narrator reads, making it easy for young readers to follow along. The illustrations by Chelsea Lane make the story come alive.
