This collection traces the evolution of a Thanksgiving Day feast from initial preparations to final good nights and whispered prayers of thanks. Although the quality of the poetry is uneven, the positive sentiments about family love and togetherness have a warm appeal. The exuberant, detailed watercolor illustrations aptly convey the cozy chaos of this holiday.
