Journalist, producer, and author Denise Kiernan joins Zibby to talk about her latest book, We Gather Together. Denise shares how she sought to weave together the history of Thanksgiving, a biography of the woman who helped make it a national holiday, and research on the benefits of actively practicing gratitude. The two also talk about what it was like to write about coming together during an era of social distancing, why she is developing We Gather Together into children's and middle-grade books to share with the whole family, and which Thanksgiving food Denise argues is the best. Have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!!!Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BjHzw0Bookshop: https://bit.ly/319FMx6 Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
