When Grandma and Grandpa can’t be with their grandchildren for Thanksgiving, their traveling house does something magical — it carries young readers back in time to the very first Thanksgiving in America.

Through gentle storytelling and vibrant illustrations, children journey to 1621 to learn how the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag worked together to grow food, prepare meals, and share a harvest that would become one of America’s most meaningful traditions. Along the way, readers discover what daily life was like long ago, why cooperation mattered for survival, and how gratitude and friendship helped shape this historic celebration.

Written especially for children ages 4–8, this educational holiday story blends history with heart, making it perfect for family read-alouds, classrooms, homeschool lessons, and seasonal library programs. The story introduces young readers to early American history in a respectful, age-appropriate way while encouraging conversations about thankfulness, community, and working together.

Grandma and Grandpa’s Traveling House: A Holiday Story About the First Thanksgiving invites families to slow down, learn together, and reflect on the meaning behind Thanksgiving — past and present.
