Thanksgiving - for a granddaughter
A personalized thanksgiving book for your granddaughter
A Thanksgiving gift that fits the point of the day: a storybook where your child is the hero of a story about noticing what they are grateful for. For a granddaughter: an heirloom book with her face on the cover, from someone who adores her.
Thanksgiving is the one holiday with a built-in idea rather than a built-in present, which makes gifts awkward. A story in which your own child works out what they are thankful for turns the reading into the tradition - and it is a gift for grandparents to give that is not more candy or another toy.

What to know when you are buying for a granddaughter
A book is one of the few gifts a grandparent can send that still means something once the wrapping is gone. Because it is printed with her face and her name, it does not get handed down or grown out of the way clothes and toys do - it goes on the shelf and comes back down at bedtime. If you see her rarely, choose a story about something she is going through rather than something she likes; it shows you were paying attention, which is the actual gift.
A dedication in your voice
For our granddaughter, the heroine of every story we tell about you. Love, Grandma and Grandpa
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
If you are not certain of her age in months, round DOWN when setting the reading level. A book slightly too easy gets read; one slightly too hard gets shelved.
