Thanksgiving is a great time to teach children about the importance of saying "Thank You". Grow your heart bigger with gratitude!

Storytime with Annie & Rocco introduce children to the traditions of the first Americans (Native Americans) and their expression of gratitude for Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants with this classic Reading Rainbow book.

The authors notes indicates that the book is based on the "Thanksgiving Address, an ancient message of peace and appreciation of Mother Earth and all her inhabitants. These words of thanks come to us from the Native people known as the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois or Six Nations - Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Onondaga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. The people of the Six Nations are from upstate New York & Canada. These words are still spoken at ceremonial and governmental gatherings held by the Six Nations. Children, too, are taught to greet the world each morning by saying thank you to all living things. They learn that according to Native American tradition, people everywhere are embraced as family. Our diversity, like all the wonders of Nature, is truly a gift for which we are thankful."

Storytime with Annie & Rocco is excited and honored to share this book for Thanksgiving Day celebrations. We also find it a great way to grow a grateful heart by starting everyday in gratitude.

Story time with Annie & Rocco is ideal for kids ages 3-7. Parents interested in kindergarten readiness, preschool teachers and caregivers find Story time with Annie & Rocco a fun way to learn with pop music, puppets and picture books!
