Squanto's Journey: The Story of the First Thanksgiving


Squanto's Journey: The Story of the First Thanksgiving

Written by: Joseph Bruchac
Illustrated by: Greg Shed

"Squanto, friend of the Pilgrims, who taught them how to survive in the New World, has been remembered every November in classrooms across America. Little is known, by most children or adults, 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 we came to losing the colony."
