Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! To me, it signifies the beginning of the holiday season, and I just love getting together with family to eat amazing food and celebrate each other!
Though this year, unfortunately Thanksgiving may be a little different for most of us. I think it’s still crucial for us parents to make things as “normal” as possible and for me, that includes reading books about Thanksgiving!
Here are some of our favorite Thanksgiving books that we’ve been reading recently. I hope you and your preschoolers can find some that you love as well!

This is such a great list! I think Thanksgiving is such an important holiday and that it is underrated! We need to express the importance of the holiday and how fun it can be. These books are perfect for accomplishing that! Thanks for sharing!
10 fat turkeys and balloons over Broadway are two favorites. I’m going to miss the parade here in NYC this year.
