The First Thanksgiving »

Beloved author Jean Craighead George traces 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 together. Thomas Locker's luminous paintings give the story a glowing, timeless quality.

"This beautiful book brings fresh insight to the traditional story." (Kirkus Reviews, pointer review)

The times that preceded the settlers' first thanksgiving day in North America are brought to life in these complementary versions of the Pilgrims' progress, The first (N.C. Wyeth's Pilgrims by Robert San Souci) is set against the backdrop of murals painted in 1940. In the second, pages of text alternate with full-page illustrations.
