With its rhythmic text and vibrant illustrations, this book shows readers how family takes on many forms, as friends, neighbors, and relatives arrive for a busy day of cooking, crafting, sharing, and celebration. It also shows young readers how to remember and honor those who must work on the holiday so that others might celebrate, including transit workers and first responders.

America is very excited for their class’s upcoming field trip to Washington, DC, but the other kids start complaining about how not excited they are. Their teacher uses this as a learning opportunity: sometimes complaining—when done right—can actually be useful.

As the class visits historic halls and monuments, historical figures come alive for America. Each figure offers tales on how complaining can lead to long-lasting change and hope for a better world. For that, America is so thankful.

Every night, Charles puts his favorite things to bed: his little doctor kit, his racing skates, his space man, his xylophone, his magic stars, his alligator, his Lionel Messi football, and his pecka-pecka chicken farm.

One day, Charles takes his toys to the park, where he meets some other kids who wants to play with him…but can Charles learn to share his favorite things?


Sunday, November 16th at 4pm at Our 17th St Store!
