Thanksgiving is a time for family get-togethers, an abundance of delicious food, and a time to stop and reflect on the goodness and richness of our life. Finally a book about the Canadian story of Thanksgiving woven through beautiful autumn colours of oranges, rusts and brilliant reds, highlighting the true meaning of love and family ties shared around a scrumptious meal. "We're going to Grandma and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving." Irene and her older brother Richard join their mom and dad on a trip to their grandparents to celebrate this very special occasion together. Hugs and happiness abound as they arrive at their destination and are greeted with excitement and joy by their beloved grandparents. Everyone contributes to make this a memorable day for all to cherish and remember long after the turkey is eaten and the table cleared. This book is presented with 35 colourful illustrations and includes words and music to a lively, original Thanksgiving song. This is the author's debut book and a great tribute to what Thanksgiving is all about in Canada. This book is a testament to family bonding and love that will be passed on for generations to come.
