Sarah Gives Thanks

Charming water-color illustrations set the stage for this picture-book biography of Sarah Hale, the woman credited with convincing Abraham Lincoln to make Thanksgiving a national holiday.  Though it doesn’t have the same voice and drama of “Thank You, Sarah,” it’s got more concrete information, filling in gaps where the other story skims over some details.  Together they make a good pairing to share this little known bit of history.
