Thanksgiving is a time when my heritage comes alive. My family traditions weave together with my Jewish grandparents mixing in their favorite traditional dishes and my largely vegetarian family adding a Tofurky to the table. The holiday is a great time to reflect on culture with your little citizens as you come together with family.

This week our writers have done just this, looking at Thanksgiving’s place in a global world. In HERITAGE Katherine Bose looks at how her Italian roots can make their way onto the Thanksgiving table. Also in this section, Stephanie Precourt reflects on a Thanksgiving for little citizens. In TRAVEL, Linda Kerr remembers celebrating Thanksgivings abroad.

We hope you have a great holiday with your little citizens!
