"The table makes a lovely sight. The food is good, it tastes just right. I savor every, single bite. I feel so full of love tonight."

Celebrate the season in this heartwarming story that references Psalm 92 in tender rhyme from award-winning author Karma Wilson. Told from the point of view of one young member of an extended family, Give Thanks to the Lord celebrates joy of all kinds, from the arrival of distant relatives to a cozy house already filled with merriment, to apple cider and the delicious smells of roasting turkey and baking pie. And just when your mouth is watering, sit down and join a thankful child in prayer, praising God for “food and fun and family, all the wonderful things I see.”

About the Author

Karma Wilson's first poem was published at the tender age of six. The poem was ironically titled, "I Don't Wanna Write a Poem!" Growing up, she had no desire to write. But Providence had different plans, and now Karma writes poems for a living when she's not busy being a wife and raising three kids. Karma is the bestselling author of Bear Snores On and Bear Wants More, as well as If I Were a Mouse, Give Thanks to the Lord, and I Will Rejoice.



Amy June Bates has illustrated dozens of children's books, including Pumpkin Cat and the Beryl E. Bean series. She lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with her husband and their son, Evan.

Chapter One

It is good to give thanks to the Lord!

Friends and family here at last. Hugs and kisses all around. Everybody says, "Hello!" Laughter makes a merry sound.

The day is lovely, cool, and bright. Our house is filled with noisy cheer. A perfect day for giving thanks as we all gather here.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord!

Outside the leaves are piled high, red and yellow, gold and brown. We climb our way up to the top then laugh and roll back down.

My life is a series of lessons and moments that see me to the next lessons and moments. Some moments are sweet, some scary, some a blur gone too fast and forever missed. I write for children because all of these steps started there, in childhood, and that sense of wonder, keen curiosity, and the ability to see things much kinder and more magical than they actually were, fades as time passes and years and experience claim your naivety. For me it is a feeling only rekindled when I am creating books, stories and poetry.

My children, family and friends are a great inspiration to me, and the support of my readers is a tremendous honor. It is always my desire to entertain children and encourage them to think about and explore their world, and the worlds beyond, embrace creativity, and love learning for the duration of their life. Knowledge comes through words, so for me literacy is the foundation of education, and it bears the fruit of intelligent and empathetic citizens of this world and humanity.

Beautiful illustrations, sweet words
Gorgeous book! The illustrations are so gorgeous- I love that they are cute and exciting for kiddos, but so artistic and intriguing for adults as well. The story is written in rhyme and a repeating phase, which is fun to read and easy to remember. This could be read with a toddler or child finishing the repeating phrase. Example: “it is good…” “…to give thanks to the Lord”. The illustrations are relatable to many children, with lots of family members, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and children sharing a thanksgiving meal. The larger size of the book as well as the soft cover of the book could be problematic for very young children to handle on their own, so should be supervised by an adult. Overall beautiful and well written book that shows the meaning of thanksgiving and importance of giving thanks to the Lord alongside your family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanking God for His Blessings

This book is good at emphasizing that Thanksgiving Day is to thank God for his blessings. It is done in an attractive and simple way. It does not relay the Thanksgiving Day story which is fine; that can be left to other books to tell. I liked the book a lot and look forward to sharing with a 6-year old Thanksgiving Day guest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great add-on for our Thanksgiving book collection!
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2021

It’s a heartwarming, tradicional American book. We are in a season where our son is old enough to start learning historical facts and while we love history, we also love to incorporate God in our lives. This is a great book to teach young ones to be thankful for what they have.

Bonus: My 4 year old paid attention the whole time which means the content was easy to understand and short enough to keep his attention! Also I didn’t grow up celebrating Thanksgiving and I learned about it when I was older in America. Therefore, this books is a great introduction of what a typical Thanksgiving holiday looks like.

I bought this for a calm down book for my grandchildren after everyone left, the kitchen cleaned up and baths taken. This is a sweet book with a God honoring poem as its text. The children related to the Thanksgiving in the story and they loved it! It did calm them down and soon all three were sleeping.
