Bookroo's summary

Emily Ann feels overlooked during the Thanksgiving rush, ready to act out. But as her family gathers, she learns the holiday's true essence: togetherness. Will this revelation change her perspective? Discover a heartwarming tale of family bonds and holiday spirit.

From the publisher

Celebrate Thanksgiving in this sweet, rhyming story all about family and togetherness! Emily Ann doesn’t like Thanksgiving, not one bit. With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday, she feels a little ignored…and just a little bit sad. But just as Emily Ann prepares to do her worst, her family comes together to show her what matters most about Thanksgiving: family. With charming illustrations by Vanessa Brantley-Newton (ONE LOVE and EVERY LITTLE THING, both by Cedella Marley), this is a heartwarming holiday treat to share and treasure for many seasons to come. A celebration of family, friends, and the special day that brings them all together.
