Sharing the Bread — Pat Zietlow Miller

Celebrate food and family with this heartwarming Thanksgiving picture book. "We will share the risen bread. / Our made-with-love Thanksgiving spread. / Grateful to be warm and fed. / We will share the bread." In this spirited ode to the holiday, set at the turn of the twentieth century, a large family works together to make their special meal. Mama prepares the turkey, Daddy tends the fire, Sister kneads, and Brother bastes. Everyone -- from Grandma and Grandpa to the littlest baby -- has a special job to do. Told in spare, rhythmic verse and lively illustrations, SHARING THE BREAD is a perfect read-aloud to celebrate the Thanksgiving tradition.
