When I talk with my students about Thanksgiving, I talk about the United States being the melting pot of the world. We not only get the best people coming through Ellis Island but all of the wonderful traditions and foods from all over the world. Halloween, Christmas Trees, Jack-o-lanterns…but the most wonderful thing about the “melting pot” is the food! This book follows that truth. Every family is different in this country but oh my goodness, when we get together to celebrate in this melting pot of a country, our families celebrate with their food and their traditions. This book is a simple read that blends rhyming with the wonderful foods brought and cooked by this family on their Thanksgiving. This would be a great read aloud during Thanksgiving.
Tastes like home when family meet;
A bond so warm, so strong, so sweet.
