Squanto's Journey: The Story of the First Thanksgiving
Squanto, friend of the Pilgrims, who taught them how to survive in the New World, has been remembered every November in classrooms across America. Yet most children and adults know little of his life and sacrifice. Now Joseph Bruchac tells us the whole story in a beautifully illustrated picture book. He sets the record straight about those hats and the food we continue to eat on Thanksgiving Day, but, more importantly, he makes us aware of how close the Pilgrims came to losing the colony. The book helps us to better appreciate Squanto and his legacy.
