Lotus Kay

A Thanksgiving for the Turkeys Lotus Kay

What does a turkey think right before Thanksgiving?

This book tells the story of Milo the turkey as he tries to navigate "Turkey Day." Milo will make you want to stretch your heart out to animals this year.

Lotus wrote More Beautiful Than Heaven to raise awareness about the beauty of nature and the Earth, the endangered state of wildlife and our environment, and ultimately inspire children to care for and protect the planet and our fellow inhabitants. She then wrote Billie the Octopus to educate kids about the beauty and importance of the ocean and protecting fish and marine life. A Thanksgiving for the Turkeys presents a new way of thinking about food choices and Thanksgiving through a turkey's eyes, and Jenny the Chimpanzee reminds us of how interconnected and similar we are to our fellow animals friends.

The books all have stuffed animals that are characters in the books that can be found at the Bears for Cares website: "Beary" (the polar bear in More Beautiful Than Heaven), "Billie" the octopus, "Jenny" the chimpanzee, and "Milo" the turkey, which support the Roots & Shoots program.
