Giving Thanks by Denise Kiernan; Jamey Christoph (Illustrator)Call Number: HOL J 394.2649 Kie
"All across the world, among hundreds of cultures, over centuries, people have come together to give thanks. But in America, we didn't have an official Thanksgiving holiday until the 1800s. The holiday Americans know today exists because of a woman named Sarah Josepha Hale, a spirited letter-writing campaign, a sympathetic president, and a civil war."-- Front jacket flap.
