    About this ebook

    Kids will gobble up some fun facts about Turkey Day with this amazing tale of courage and faith.

    Celebrating a bountiful harvest and eating delicious food skim the surface of what the Thanksgiving holiday truly means. It’s Not About You, Mrs. Turkey is a unique tool for parents, grandparents, and teachers to share both the historical and religious background of the holiday with young readers. The fun and colorful illustrations give children the opportunity to see clothing styles of the past as they learn the importance of courage, sharing, friendship, and giving thanks.

    “Do your kids believe Thanksgiving is only about dinner? Then you need this book to share both the historical and religious background of Thanksgiving with your kids!” —Homeschool Preschool, “9 Terrific Turkey Books for Preschool”

    “I am always in favor of literature that points children away from commercialized holidays and teaches the true meaning of why we celebrate a holiday. Author Soraya Coffelt has done exactly that in It’s Not About You, Mrs. Turkey. In a loving and factual way, she lays out the true meaning of Thanksgiving and Christianity’s significance.” —Christian Children’s Book Review

    “A wonderful history lesson in the form of a young children’s book.” —Our Big Happy Family Blog
