The Pilgrims called the celebration the Harvest Feast. The Pawtuxet
Indians thought of it as the Green Corn Dance. But the first
Thanksgiving was much more than that.
Join Newbery Medalist Jean Craighead George and beloved illustrator
Thomas Locker as they trace the passage of time from the melting of the
glaciers that created Cape Cod and Plymouth Rock, to the moment the
Pawtuxet Indians and the Pilgrims met and feasted on the bounty of the
New World.
From the simple text to the lush illustrations, the story of a harvest
feast turned beloved tradition will captivate readers young and old.
"Correcting misconceptions and clarifying contemporary attitudes, this
beautiful book brings fresh insight and a fairer balance to the
traditional story."--Kirkus Reviews
