Sarah Hale is not only a hero of her time period but for Americans everywhere! She insisted that Thanksgiving be a national holiday. After being denied by many politicians and waiting over 35+ years, Abraham Lincoln finally passed the bill! Sarah was celebrated by all her family, friends, and fellow Americans.
I would use this book as a start of a mini-history lesson. Sarah Hale made a contribution to this country but isn't remembered as much as other heroes of this country. As a class, we would discuss the unforgotten heroes. I would introduce different people in history and tell them how each person contributed.
