Gather around because The Thanksgiving Dinner Platter by Randa Handler is a story that feels like a warm hug on a chilly autumn day. Perfect for readers of all ages, this beautifully crafted tale captures the true meaning of gratitude, heritage, and togetherness.
Set in 1941, just after Thanksgiving becomes an official national holiday, we meet eight-year-old Takari curious, spirited, and proudly part of a multicultural family. When she accidentally breaks a treasured family heirloom, her mistake becomes the doorway to something much bigger: an unforgettable journey into history, tradition, and the universal language of giving thanks.
As Takari visits her best friend, Little Sparrow, she discovers the deep roots of the first Thanksgiving, the blending of cultures at Plymouth Plantation, and the powerful reminder that celebrations of gratitude exist all over the world including her own father’s homeland of Japan. Through tender moments and meaningful conversations, young readers learn how stories, customs, and meals can pass love from one generation to the next.
With its charming storytelling, cultural richness, and heartwarming message, The Thanksgiving Dinner Platter is more than a holiday tale, it’s a celebration of who we are, where we come from, and the traditions we choose to carry forward.
Whether you’re exploring themes of family, heritage, or the importance of compassion, this book offers book clubs a touching, conversation-worthy read. Its 36 beautifully illustrated pages make it a delightful choice for a quick yet deeply meaningful group discussion.
Step into Takari’s world where gratitude spans cultures, friendships bloom across traditions, and one broken platter brings a family’s heritage to life.
Warmly,
Solenne Celeste
