With Thanksgiving two weeks away I can't help but think about getting together with family and the FOOD! I'm looking forward to indulging in mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, pecan pie and of course turkey! While you go for seconds this Thanksgiving, I hope you think about the farm behind your Thanksgiving dinner.

| The Olthoff's - Bart, Isaac, Katie and Adam |
Did you know there are more than 130 turkey farms in Iowa? I actually grew up in an area with many turkey farms and am happy that share that one of those family farms is telling their story through a new children's book just in time for Thanksgiving,
My Family's Farm.
Katie, who farms with her husband Bart (who I grew up with), raise more than 100,000 turkeys every year. Katie, has become a good friend of mine over the last few years and I'm so proud that she has written this book, with the help of her six year old son Adam.
One of the reasons why I love this book is that there is information in it for the entire family. Each page includes two sections of text. The first section is in Adam's voice and is meant for younger kids. The other section has more detailed background information and is great for older students (and even adults).
I think this would be a great book to share at your Thanksgiving dinner this year and I'm excited to share that I'll be giving away a copy to one of my readers! You can enter the giveaway below and in case you don't win, you can check out the
online version of the book here for free!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of Thanksgiving is making a LOT of mashed potatoes, because I really, really like them. And sitting down to share time and food with my family. And four straight days off work to spend with my husband and daughter (obviously I'm not a livestock producer)!
