All across the world, among hundreds of cultures and across centuries, people have come together to give thanks. But Americans didn't have an official Thanksgiving holiday until the 1800s. The holiday Americans know today exists because of a woman named Sarah Josepha Hale, a spirited letter-writing campaign, a sympathetic president, and a civil war.

Jamey Christoph's (he/him) illustrations have appeared in The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and in several award winning children's books. An old soul at heart, his work draws inspiration from vintage advertising and travel posters and a lifelong curiosity of the past, particularly in the character of old buildings, cars, fashion, and music. He has received multiple recognitions from the Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts, and 3x3 Magazine. He works out of his 1920's home in Cleveland Heights, OH with his crazy dogs, Owen and Jack. You can visit him online at www.jameychristoph.com.
