"The
table makes a lovely sight. The food is good, it tastes just right. I savor
every, single bite. I feel so full of love tonight."
Celebrate the
season in this heartwarming story that references Psalm 92 in tender rhyme from
award-winning author Karma Wilson. Told from the point of view of one young
member of an extended family, Give Thanks to the Lord celebrates joy
of all kinds, from the arrival of distant relatives to a cozy house already
filled with merriment, to apple cider and the delicious smells of roasting
turkey and baking pie. And just when your mouth is watering, sit down and
join a thankful child in prayer, praising God for “food and fun and family, all
the wonderful things I see.”
My thoughts: This is an interesting sweet story about
family gathering for Thanksgiving. Wonderful for families that have family that
gathers at Thanksgiving. For those who live far away from loved ones or who are
estranged or who have no extended family, it might be painful or cause
questions.
For children toddlers, preschoolers or
beginning elementary. Great for nurseries, Christian preschools or daycares, church libraries.
I’m late for Thanksgiving (Or very early), but if
you order it now you will have it for the 2015 holiday.
Great book.
24 pages. Available in hardcover and
paperback. Ages 4 - 8
