November is here, and you know what that means: Thanksgiving! What a fun, happy, and (relatively) low stress holiday! No one is really expected to buy or give gifts, you get to eat a wonderful meal, and hopefully spend time with family. Can’t beat that.

I am such a lover of seasonal books, so I thought it would be fun to share six Thanksgiving books that we personally own, read, and enjoy. Some are focused on the actual holiday, while others center around the theme of being thankful. No matter what, they are all cute, fun reads to teach toddlers about Thanksgiving and being thankful!

This book tells the story of Thanksgiving in a way that toddlers can grasp. It gives the historical background of Thanksgiving and discusses the relevance of the holiday for us today. Perfect for kids ages 2-5.

Taylor the Thankful Turkey by Sonica Ellis
