The origin of the Thanksgiving holiday comes to life in this festive, Caldecott Honor–winning picture book.
Giles, Constance, and Damaris Hopkins are all passengers aboard the crowded Mayflower, journeying to the New World to start a new life. Things get a little more cramped when their baby brother Oceanus is born during the passage.
But when they arrive, there are even worse challenges to face as the Pilgrims are subjected to hunger, cold, and sickness that put their small colony in great danger.
With the help of the Native Americans, they might just be able to survive their first year in this strange land—and have a November harvest to celebrate for generations!
