Thanksgiving Children's Book Quote - In November.


An inspiring quote from the picture book, In November, written by one of my favorite authors of books for young people, Cynthia Rylant:

In November, the smell of food is different. It is an orange smell. A squash and pumpkin smell. It tastes like cinnamon and can fill up a house in the morning, can pull everyone from bed in a fog. Food is better in November than any other time of year.

In November, people are good to each other. They carry pies to each other's homes and talk by crackling woodstoves, sipping mellow cider.

They travel far on a special November day just to share a meal with one another and to give thanks for their many blessings - for food on their tables and the babies in their arms.

And then they travel back home.
