In the award-winning new children’s book Thankful FUR You, author Hillary Harper treats readers to a heartwarming tale centered on the endearing character Cannoli, a lovable dog who cherishes Thanksgiving like no other holiday. When Cannoli and his faithful human companion Cami observe the town's early Christmas decorations, the curious canine begins to wonder if Thanksgiving has been canceled altogether.
As the story unfolds, Cannoli embarks on a heartening quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the early Christmas preparations, and his unwavering enthusiasm for Thanksgiving becomes abundantly apparent.
Ideal for sharing with preschool- and elementary school-age children, Harper’s engaging narrative seamlessly weaves elements of adventure and friendship while capturing the essence of the holiday's spirit in simple language relatable to young audiences. Tender illustrations by Felipe Calv capture Cannoli’s tail-wagging journey in a beautiful fall color palette.
Through the loving support of Cami and the camaraderie of his doggie friends, Cannoli learns valuable lessons about gratitude and discovers the true joy of giving thanks.
