and jack-o-lanterns lose their smiles,
when branches lie bare,
and corn stalks rustle in the wind,
that’s when it’s time for

This story follows along as one family packs up and heads out into the woods. There, they are greeted by family and friends.

Thanksgiving in the Woods by Phyllis Alsdurf is based on the true story of a family that has been hosting an outdoor feast for their family and friends each year in upstate New York. This story is filled with lyrical text and beautiful illustrations. It would be a great way to start a discussion about the different Thanksgiving traditions your students celebrate!
