The children of Boys Town share in this book their journey through darkness to the light exemplified by the Thanksgiving celebration. Val J. Peter, Boys Town’s Executive Director Emeritus, invites readers to learn their own life’s lessons by following the path these children have taken. He urges you to open your eyes to the glorious splendor of autumn and open your heart to the awe and gratitude this beauty inspires.

In short essays, Boys Town’s kids describe what they love best about the fall season, outline instructions on how to cook a turkey, and give thanks for even the most difficult circumstances in their lives. These resilient children are able to draw inspiration from tragedies like illness, their parents’ divorce, and Hurricane Katrina.

Help your family take time on this Thanksgiving holiday to ponder the beauty around you, the difficulties and the triumphs in your lives, and give thanks for the lessons they’ve taught you and the happiness that is yours for the sharing.
