About This Book
This humorous picture book introduces Runt, a small but exceptionally intelligent turkey, whose family is oblivious to the true meaning of Thanksgiving. As the holiday draws near, Runt tries repeatedly to warn his larger, less observant brother Turk and the rest of the flock about the impending danger. The story playfully explores themes of being different, using your unique strengths, and the importance of listening to others, all while delivering a lighthearted take on a classic holiday predicament. It's perfect for ages 4-8, offering both laughs and a gentle message about problem-solving and family.
Runt the turkey is much smaller than his brother, but his intelligence keeps his family from becoming Thanksgiving Day dinner.
