StorySprout™ and the Thanksgiving Feast in Kindness Grove
Where Little Acts of Kindness Grow into the Greatest Gifts

Meet StorySprout—and discover the magical place where her adventures begin!

This introductory storybook welcomes readers to StorySprout’s world and her woodland home, Kindness Grove, nestled among the hills surrounding Keuka Lake. Discover how a little elf grew from a story, meet her wonderfully whimsical friends, and join the Thanksgiving celebration that inspires her journey toward the Christmas-lit villages beyond the grove.

Beneath glowing acorn lanterns, preparations are underway for a feast. But with a broken table, salty muffins, tumbling apples, and a fox who insists on singing, their celebration is heading for quite a tangle!

With help from a shy little mouse and a gentle invitation to a lonely neighbor, StorySprout discovers that the most beautiful celebrations begin with grateful hearts—and room for one more friend.

Filled with warmth, laughter, and cinnamon-swirled wonder, this introduction to StorySprout™ and Kindness Grove celebrates friendship, generosity, remembering those we love, and the difference one small act of kindness can make.

This 30-page storybook includes:

• Ten chapters and 11 color illustrations.

• Discussion questions for children and their grown-ups.

• StorySprout’s Thanksgiving Kindness Challenge.

• A meaningful tradition to inspire gratitude and belonging.
