But by the 1800s America's observance was waning. None of the presidents nor Congress sought to revive the holiday. And so one invincible \"lady editor\" name Sarah Hale took it upon herself to rewrite the recipe for Thanksgiving as we know it today. This is an inspirational, historical, all-out boisterous tale about perseverance and belief: In 1863 Hale's thirty-five years of petitioning and orations got Abraham Lincoln thinking. He signed the Thanksgiving Proclamation that very year, declaring it a national holiday. This story is a tribute to Hale, her fellow campaigners, and to the amendable government that affords citizens the power to make the world a better place!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689847875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 11.30w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e North Carolina Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Black-Eyed Susan Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e South Carolina Childrens, Junior and Young Adult Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Hoosier Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2002 pg. 1462\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2002 pg. 764\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2003 pg. 225\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 113 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 1205\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 113 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/23\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e62571 \/ Thank You, Sarah: The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Laurie Halse Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43643956691125,"sku":"9780689847875","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d1e9bcf0-e31a-4cdf-baec-0b39435f9dca.jpg?v=1708445268","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thank-you-sarah-thank-you-sarah-9780689847875","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
