In a serene woodland setting, a family hosts a unique Thanksgiving feast, inviting friends to share in a day of warmth and camaraderie. As bonfires crackle and songs fill the air, the gathering becomes a celebration of community and gratitude.

What traditions will be born from this enchanting gathering in the woods?

From the publisher

Every year a family and their friends gather in the woods to celebrate Thanksgiving among the trees. Everyone brings something to share and the day becomes a long celebration of family, faith, and friendship. Told in a gentle, lyrical style, this picture book includes warm illustrations of people gathered around bonfires and long tables adorned with candles and food, singing songs and sharing laughter.

Thanksgiving in the Woods is based on the true story of a family in Upstate New York who has hosted an outdoor Thanksgiving feast in the woods on their farm for over twenty years.
