25 Best Thanksgiving Books to Celebrate the Holiday

In addition to sharing what you're grateful for over home-cooked desserts and turkey-friendly wine, consider starting a new Thanksgiving tradition: Curling up with a stack of great fall reads.

We’ve selected a few Thanksgiving-themed books—some short, others more in-depth and historically accurate, and several picture books that are perfect to read aloud with toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary school-aged kids. Flip through for books written from Native American perspectives and tales about what's at the center of the holiday (food!) from novelist Laurie Colwin and chef Jacques Pepin. If you're looking to get lost in a novel on the day after Thanksgiving, we have options for that, too—including a dysfunctional family saga by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney.

These 25 narratives will teach you Thanksgiving trivia you never knew, and arm you with quotes to share with your loved ones at the dinner table. This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for books.
