Thanksgiving Rules!
Hi Everybody,
Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I hope you’re all getting into the spirit of the holidays. Ican’t wait to celebrate with my family and eat a delicious turkey dinner! If you’re in the mood for some holiday reading, I hope you’ll check out my picture book Thanksgiving Rules. The main character, Percy Isaac Gifford, knows how to get the most out of his holiday and you will too if you read the book.
Happy early Thanksgiving to all!
