Stories to teach Thanksgiving

Give Thanks to the Lord is a fun, rhyming take on Thanksgiving that will help kids truly understand the meaning of the holiday. In this heartwarming story that references Psalm 92, award-winning children’s author Karma Wilson tells a story about the Thanksgiving holiday that hits just the right tone. Told from the point of view of one young member of an extended family, Give Thanks to the Lord celebrates all the joys of the autumn holiday, from the arrival of distant relatives to a cozy house filled with noisy good cheer to apple cider and the delicious smells of roasting turkey and baking pies. And just when mouths are watering, the family sits down, holds hands, and says a prayer of thanks to God for “food and fun and family, all the wonderful things we see.” Young readers will delight in each tender rhyme as they learn to appreciate their own many blessings in this full-color picture book for kids.


Saying Grace tells the story of one girl and her discovery of the value of mealtime prayer at her family’s first Thanksgiving. Journey back in time with Grace and relive both the hardships and blessings along with her pioneer family. Find special mealtime prayers and Thanksgiving activities inside!
Both of these excellent books are available here at The Lighthouse or on our website www.lighthousebooksource.com
