Cranberry Thanksgiving
36 pages · First published 2025
Maggie and her grandmother each invite a guest to Thanksgiving dinner, following the tradition of welcoming someone poor or lonely. Grandmother is dismayed when Maggie chooses the scruffy Mr. Whiskers, especially with her prized cranberry-bread recipe close at hand. The meal brings surprises that challenge first impressions and reveal which guest deserves their trust. This classic picture book offers a lively family read-aloud about hospitality, appearances, and Thanksgiving generosity.
