Product Description
PThis entertaining and historical story shows that the actual hero of the Thanksgiving was neither white nor Indian, but God. In 1608, English traders came to Massachusetts and captured a 12-year old Indian, Squanto, and sold him into slavery. He was raised by Christians and taught faith in God. Ten years later he was sent home to America. Upon arrival, he learned an epidemic had wiped out his entire village. But God had plans for Squanto. God delivered a Thanksgiving miracle: an English-speaking Indian living in the exact place where the Pilgrims land in a strange new world./P

Made me cry! November 30, 2008
How glad I was that I stumbled upon thus truly God-glorifying book! After studying the Indians for a while, this book was the perfect transition into the lives and struggles of the Pilgrims. The fist time I read it it made me cry. It reminds me that God truly does work out all things for the good for those who love Him. Sometimes when all looks hopeless He uses a person's "misfortune" in a wonderful, magnificent way that only He can. This is definately a children's must-read.
Thankful November 28, 2008
I got this book for a present for my 7 yr old grandson on a Thanksgiving visit. It was perfect. The illustrations are beautiful as was the story. After reading it we talked about being thankful even things are not so good (his Dad is in Iraq).
Great story for your children September 20, 2007

We got this book when my son was 3 years old and he loved it. It tells the story in a way that brings glory to God in the midst of difficult circumstances. Highly recommend!

If you want your kids to really know the full story of the first Thanksgiving, then you cannot forego this book. Squanto is one of those stories that has not remained at the fore front of Thanksgiving tales. And, that fact is a crying shame. This story will not only speak facts, it will teach several moral lessons that the child in all of us needs to learn. It is a reminder of how we can be thankful no matter what life hands us in the way of trials. Read this book to your kids and inspire them to live their best lives!

This is an excellent book for teaching the history of Thanksgiving. The story is well told, and the writing is well crafted. The pictures are remarkable; you can spend a lot of time looking into the faces of the characters, which are rich with emotion and humanity and realism. This book is a great investment.
