“Harvest of Books” a Thanksgiving Treat for Kids

In Lincoln Nebraska, children in the first and second grade are giving thanks a couple of days early…for the gift of books given to them by The Harvest of Books, an annual tradition since 1996.

Children bounced up and down. Some clapped. Some gasped and squealed with delight. And all of them had trouble waiting for their turn to stop at the book tables and pick out the three books that would soon become their own. Story from the Lincoln Journal Star .
