Ways families are using their Thanksgiving story
Keep the little ones busy before dinner.
A calm, screen-lite reading moment while the adults finish cooking — instead of another round of "are we eating yet?"
A table topic that isn't politics.
A shared story everyone in the story can talk about at dinner — a lighter way to bring the whole table into one conversation.
A new yearly tradition.
Create one every Thanksgiving and watch the same kids — and the same jokes — grow year over year.
What families say
“"We do a big Thanksgiving with four kids and three sets of grandparents flying in. Last year I made a story with literally everyone in it and it was the calmest hour of the entire weekend."”
“"My kids ask 'can we be in the Thanksgiving story again' before they ask about pie. That's saying something in my house."”
“"My mother-in-law cried a little when she saw herself in the illustration next to her grandkids. Worth it just for that."”
