But by the 1800s America's observance was waning. None of the presidents nor Congress sought to revive the holiday. And so one invincible \"lady editor\" name Sarah Hale took it upon herself to rewrite the recipe for Thanksgiving as we know it today. This is an inspirational, historical, all-out boisterous tale about perseverance and belief: In 1863 Hale's thirty-five years of petitioning and orations got Abraham Lincoln thinking. He signed the Thanksgiving Proclamation that very year, declaring it a national holiday. This story is a tribute to Hale, her fellow campaigners, and to the amendable government that affords citizens the power to make the world a better place!\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaurie Halse Anderson is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author known for tackling tough subjects with humor and sensitivity.
