From the jacket flap
"This idyllic holiday story of happiness and connection begins with a celebration feast with Grandma
Grace."-Booklist
2008 READING CORNER SELECTION OF THE DR. LAURA RADIO PROGRAM
The Thanksgiving bowl is a favorite at Grandma Grace's table each Thanksgiving, as it is filled with "I Am Thankful For" lists from each member of the family. One Thanksgiving, after Grandma reads the lists, the bowl is forgotten at her picnic table, and it blows away. For the next twelve months, various creatures put the bowl to good use, then discard or forget it, and it travels on to another destination.
Each time the bowl is found, its new owners seem to have a perfect use for it. Whether transformed into a toy, as when otters use it for a free ride down a hill, or a gift, as when a girl plants sunflowers in it for Mother's Day, the bowl seems destined to make everyone grateful for its sudden arrival.
Miraculously, the bowl's yearlong journey of being continuously lost and found-stuck under bushes, buried in snowdrifts, tossed around in thunderstorms, even dropped from a recycling truck-comes full circle as it arrives back in Grandma Grace's yard just in time for Thanksgiving.
