Tony Sarg was a very talented man who created marionettes. R.H. Macy's department store decided to display Sarg's work in a window of their store. People loved his work so much he began making the puppets used in the parade. The first parade was in Thanksgiving Day in 1928 and still takes place annually.
Sweet's design is very appealing especially to a young audience. The images jump off the pages allowing the reader to appreciate the illustrations. This book can help to introduce the history behind having a Thanksgiving parade in New York. This book received the Golden Kite Award for picture book and here is the link to the book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlTmh1cNuVs
