Thanksgiving is a time-honored tradition that gathers families and communities to come together in a spirit of gratitude and celebration. However, the essence of Thanksgiving should not be confined to a single day, but rather cultivated as a year-round mindset.

Therefore, when we teach our children the importance of embracing tradition, togetherness, and love, they can blossom into empathetic, inclusive, and community-minded neighbors, carrying the warmth of Thanksgiving with them throughout their lives.

And so, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, one family-centered storyteller is instilling a lifelong appreciation for the richness of human connection to little ones this holiday season and beyond.
