Thanksgiving Is for Giving Thanks
AuthorMargaret Sutherland
ISBN0448422867
I realized a few pages in that this book wasn’t about one character. It changed perspective throughout. As I flipped I kept thinking who’s perspective am I in? It wasn’t always clear, because at times there was more than one kid on the page.
