pickI love this book on Thanksgiving. It highlights the woman who helped make it a national holiday. She led an incredible life!
pickYA author Laurie Halse Anderson wrote this great children's book about Sarah Hale, who fought to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. After writing letters to four other U.S. Presidents, Abraham Lincoln finally took action for Sarah's cause. I loved sharing this story with my students. It's empowering for girls, and it also shows the importance of writing to our elected officials about things that matter to us. #Recommendsday
