A Thanksgiving Story
Rettie is only nine, but in her crowded New York City tenement, she carries grown-up worries every day.
It is 1918, and influenza is spreading across the country. With her mother ill and her family struggling, Rettie cleans, shops, cooks, and works small jobs to help keep everyone going. Thanksgiving is coming, and the Ragamuffin Parade could bring a chance for prize money, but quarantines and public health rules may stop the celebration before it begins.
Rettie and the Ragamuffin Parade is a moving historical picture book about resilience, poverty, family care, and hope during a frightening moment in American history. Young readers will meet a determined girl whose courage shines through hardship without losing the warmth of a Thanksgiving story.
