When young Elizabeth Tilley boards the
Mayflower
, she dreams of a new home across the ocean; a place where her family can live in peace and hope. But the journey is long, the winters are cold, and the new land is full of challenges.
With the help of new friends; Samoset, Squanto, and the Wampanoag people; the Pilgrims learn how to plant, fish, and live in harmony with the land. Through hard work and kindness, their small village begins to grow.
When harvest time comes, the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag gather together for a great feast of gratitude; sharing food, laughter, and friendship beneath the golden autumn sky.
Beautifully told through gentle words and soft watercolor illustrations,
The Harvest of Thanks
celebrates courage, faith, and the spirit of giving thanks for all we have; and all we share.
