(NorthSouth Books, Sept. 3, 2019)
Lydia Maria Child's beloved poem turned classic song embodies the magic of bundling up and riding a horse-drawn sleigh to visit Grandmother for Thanksgiving. Set in the nineteenth century, this story features Christopher Manson's indelible wood carvings, which capture the wonders of winter—such as sledding and ice-skating—and the Thanksgiving feast, complete with pumpkin pie. Music and lyrics at the back of the book let you sing along.
