This warm and thought-provoking picture book celebrates the many different ways that families come together to give thanks in the fall season. Hulse’s spare, meaningful text honors a table with room for “old traditions, and new ones, too,” as loved ones gather in suburban homes and in city apartments. Goodnight’s expressive illustrations, created using paper, graphite, and digital tools, portray various races, ethnicities, and abilities. The book alludes to the ways Thanksgiving is painful for some by showing an Indigenous family visiting a memorial for a Wampanoag tribal chief; an artist’s note provides more context.
From the ">November/December 2024 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
