From Montego Bay to Toronto: The Story Behind Reign’s First Thanksgiving
Every story begins with a journey, but for eleven-year-old Reign, her story spans thousands of miles, a complete shift in climate, and a brand-new way of seeing the world.
In Reign’s First Thanksgiving—the first book in the Reign’s Canadian Journey middle-grade series—we follow Reign as she leaves behind everything familiar to start a new chapter in Canada with her dad and stepmother, Sarah.
Where Her Journey Begins: Montego Bay, Jamaica
Reign’s roots are planted in the warm, vibrant shores of Jamaica. Montego Bay represents everything she knows and loves: sunny skies, turquoise waters, and deep family connections.
Leaving home isn't easy for Reign. As October rolls around in her new city, she struggles with homesickness, missing the familiar tropical breeze and wondering how anyone can enjoy the sudden drop in temperature.
Her New Chapter: Toronto, Canada
Her destination is the bustling city of Toronto, Ontario. Surrounded by soaring skylines and crisp autumn winds, Reign is introduced to vibrant red and gold fall foliage and her very first Canadian Thanksgiving holiday.
With gentle encouragement from her family, Reign learns that practicing gratitude—starting small with the beautiful moments right in front of her—does not mean letting go of where she came from. Instead, it helps her carry her own inner sunshine wherever she goes.
Empowering Young Readers Through Social-Emotional Growth
Designed for middle-grade readers (ages 9–12), Reign’s First Thanksgiving blends themes of identity, social-emotional well-being, cultural transition, and family connection into a story young readers can relate to and grow with.
