You are invited to participate in the feast of friends, otherwise known as Friendsgiving. There are many delicious scenes and just as many delicious words to describe the friends and inclusive communities that are the heart of this story.
I think this would be a good addition to your classroom library of Thanksgiving traditions as it’s just another way to celebrate the holiday. I loved all the vignettes of different groups celebrating together with food and good feelings. It’s a nice reminder that your chosen family can be just as important as the people you are related to by blood.
