The First Thanksgiving for Kids: How the First Thanksgiving Came to Be
The first Thanksgiving was a time of celebration - but also a time for grieving.
The Pilgrims had persevered through their first brutal winter in America and had planted a successful corn harvest with the help of local Native Americans.
Yet they had also lost fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters to starvation and disease during that freezing winter.
Now they celebrated their first year in America with their Native American friends.
This easy-to-read children's book for ages 8 to 10 reveals the true story of the first Thanksgiving.
