Thank You, Sarah: The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving

I had never heard of Sarah Hale until I read this book, which is actually kind of sad. She is an important figure in American history. She was the women that pushed for the validation of Thanksgiving as an American holiday. This book has a light hearted feel and tone while still offering historical context for students. The illustrations are also highly detailed and intriguing. They are highly stylized. Even though much of the book has a fairly brown color palate, it is still very eye catching. I would use this book for elementary age students near thanksgiving.
