A modern Thanksgiving classic about an immigrant girl who comes to
identify with the story of the Pilgrims, as she seeks religious freedom
and a home in a new land. Now with a gorgeous new cover and lovely
interior illustrations.
As Molly nears her first Thanksgiving in the New World, she doesn't find
much to be thankful for. Her classmates giggle at her accent and make
fun of her unfamiliarity with American ways.
And Molly's mother only makes things worse when she creates a doll for a
school Thanksgiving project that looks more like a Russian refugee than
a New England Pilgrim. But the tiny modern-day pilgrim just might help
Molly to find a place for herself in America.
The touching story tells how recent immigrant Molly leads her
third-grade class to discover that it takes all kinds of pilgrims to
make a Thanksgiving. Originally published in 1983, Molly's Pilgrim
inspired the 1986 Academy Award-winning live-action short film.

perennial Thanksgiving favorite in homes and classrooms, now with
