A DEAR LITTLE GIRL'S THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS
CHAPTER I THE INVITATION
CHAPTER II RELIANCE
CHAPTER III WHERE'S THE KEY?
CHAPTER IV A HEARTY DINNER
CHAPTER V THE RED BOOK
CHAPTER VI THE OLD HOUSE
Edna’s world brightens when a handwritten invitation arrives from her grandparents, promising an “old‑fashioned” Thanksgiving that they hope to share before time runs out. The news sends her sprinting through the bustling farmyard, sharing the surprise with her brothers Charlie and Frank, whose playful banter hints at the close‑knit, slightly chaotic family life they all navigate.
As the holiday approaches, Edna prepares to head ahead with her mother, while cousins, aunts, and a mischievous friend named Dorothy add layers of excitement and anticipation. Listeners will hear the rustle of autumn leaves, the clatter of a pigeon‑house workshop, and the warm chatter of a young girl dreaming of a memorable feast—setting the stage for a heartfelt, nostalgic celebration of gratitude and together‑ness.
