Overview

"This is Thanksgiving, a time to remember the friendships and freedoms we all share together."

The Pilgrims embarked on their legendary Mayflower voyage in 1620 in search of religious freedom and a better life. The settlers were unprepared for the hardships they would face at the end of their journey, but with the help of their neighbor Indians, the Pilgrims survived the first year in their new world. Then, when their fall harvest was plentiful, the Pilgrims and the Indians joined together in a three-day celebration, the first Thanksgiving.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
The sense of Thanksgiving is captured on every page of this rhymed presentation of the celebration held by the Plymouth colony in 1621. Opening with a striking illustration of the Mayflower sailing across a double spread, the text describes the arduous journey: "These are the Pilgrims, down on their knees,/seasick and frightened on rough, rolling seas." Lloyd has obviously done a great deal of research; her depictions of the people, their clothes, and possessions are meticulous, as well as colorful and engaging. Once land is sighted, the lookout cries "Thanks be to God, our strength and our guide." Shore's text gives a great deal of history while advancing the storyline of the upcoming feast. The reader is given a clear view of the difficulties the people faced and introduces Tisquantum (Squanto) as the Patuxet Indian who taught them how to plant maize and other crops. "Thanks be to God for this wise, clever man." The foods available and illustrated at the feast of Thanksgiving are in keeping with what we know about the time and the scene is not sentimentalized. Details such as a woman scraping sugar from a sugar cone add to the authenticity of the illustrations. Readers will find this a wealth of subtle information (spoons carved from wood, oysters and fish as part of the feast, and not a silver shoe buckle in sight)! Shore and Lloyd have joined their talents to create a book that will be an informative, discussible, and enjoyable peek into the past. "Thanks be to God for their creative gift to us." Reviewer: Sheilah Egan
Kirkus Reviews
A modified "House that Jack Built" rhythm follows the Pilgrims as they make their way "to freedom through wind and through wave / across the Atlantic, so far and so wide," huddle near "the hearth, soothing the soul, / as death and disease take a terrible toll," plant "the fields, stubbled, unclaimed, / cleared by Patxuets before the plague came" and celebrate their first Thanksgiving. Shore packs a lot into the verse, which leaves out some information (what plague?) but conveys more of the nuance of the story than is often presented to young readers. Lloyd's primitive-inspired paintings effectively complement both verse and tale. (Picture book. 4-8)

ALA Booklist
“With the bouncy rhyme and sun-filled illustrations, this offers an idyllic view of the happy holiday, fun for sharing with preschoolers before the holiday.”
Black Issues Book Review
“A poetic mosaic.”

    Good Thanksgiving book

    This was a little advanced for my 3 year olds but I think it will be a wonderful Thanksgiving book for them to grow into. It also read well out loud. The meter and rhymes were well done.

    Perfect Read-Aloud for Thanksgiving

    I happened by Barnes & Noble yesterday and in the Thanksgiving section found this gem front and center. The pictures are stunning and very detailed (she even included the two dogs that came along with the the Pilgrims) and the text is beautiful and filled with lots of facts you don't find in other Thanksgivng picture books. It's written in perfect rhyme and starts with the Mayflower voyage and ends with the three day feast celebrating the harvest of 1621. Gorgeous book. P. Oliver
