Hi friends!
We’re learning and reading all about Thanksgiving this month, so as always, here are the books we are diving into.
I am always skeptic about Thanksgiving books #1, because I want to share the truth of what happened with the Native Americans my children (not the happy pilgrim stuff I was taught way back when) in a gentle way and #2, because as a vegan/vegetarian family, I want to make sure the books we read are not about eating turkey. I will put a (*) next to the turkey-related books that are perfect for plant-based families. I did my best to collect books that had both of these things in mind.
We get the majority of our books from the library, but if you prefer to buy, I highly recommend checking Book Outlet before you buy on Amazon because their books are often times 40-70% off the retail price. They don’t always have what you are looking for in stock, but worth a visit to see!
Here is the full list of themes we have for our preschool year, if you are interested.
